First question for you

[TackyCheeba]

I got a GTX 280 last week and realised it needs both 6 pin and an 8 pin PCIe connectors in to work, trouble is my current PSU only has 6 pin.

So, my question is which would be the best modular PSU to run 1 card ( all opinions welcome...price not an issue).

Thanks for the help

What are the specs for the rest of your system? Kind of hard to recommend a power supply without that piece of information.

Sorry, new here.
X6800
IP35 Pro
2 GB DDR2
2 HDD interna
1 HDD external
2 optical

currently using Tagan 580w PSU.....hasnt got an 8 pin PCIe though.

Thanks

Then I recommend this power supply:
Corsair 620HX 620W Modular PSU - $144

cheers for the reply Danny, any others i can look at?, would an 800w be overkill?

 

[Dangman]

An 800W PSU would be overkill for your setup. Can't think of any other decent modular PSUs that have an 8Pin PCI-E connector.

Ok, cheers for the help Danny..i`ll look into it.
