What power supply do I need that has enough connections? I have been looking around and it seems everything's all split up.
Here's what I will need to power:
2 ATA hard drives.
1 non SATA DVD-RW
PCI-e video card.
and then the basics like the MoBo and CPU.
Where do I even start? With my old PSU everything was the standard 4 pin ata kind of connections so there were more than enough plugs for everything, but it looks like all the new PSUs only have 2 SATA connectors on them.
Am I missing something about how new PSUs work? What if I wanted to have more than two SATA devices, maybe eventually 2 SATA HDDs and a SATA style optical drive of some sort. How'd that work?
I was looking at the XClio 450BL and it only lists such a limited number of connections.
1 x Main connector (20+4 pin)
1 x 12V (P4)
6 x peripheral
2 x SATA
2 x Floppy
1 x PCI-E
Maybe I just don't understand anymore since I have been out of the computer building side of things for a few years.
Can someone help me out?
