Will this work?

[baja150]

Ok this SLI PSU crap is pretty confusing.

Here's my new setup.
ASUS A8N Deluxe
6800 Ultra PCIE - Qty. 1
DVD Burner - Qty. 1
HDD 7200RPM - Qty. 1
Fans 80mm (Medium Power) - Qty. 6

My question is will a CoolerMaster Real Power 450W work for this setup with only one 6800 Ultra. I plan to eventually upgrade to two 6800 Ultra's in SLI, but at that time I'll get a PCP&C. I'd get the PCP&C now, but I'm already over budget by going with the Ultra instead of GT. I know the CoolerMaster doesn't have the PCIE card connectors, but I can deal with the molex splitter/adapter for now as long as it will run stable. It has dual 12V rails and the amperages are 18/16 peak, and 12/10 idle.

Any other ATX 2.0 PSU suggestions for under $100 are also welcome. I just kind of like the CM Real Power 450W because it has the 3.5" drive wattage display to match my CoolerMaster case. I know it's not very functional, but it looks cool.

Thanks,
Rich G.
