I have a DFI NF4 Ultra-D and I didn't need a PCI-Express specific power supply (6 Pin Plug). What video card are you getting though? I think that connector is made for power hungry high end cards running on the PCI-E interface (read 6800 Ultra).

6800 gt or x800xl

I would just try out the PSU and see if it works...a 6800GT or a x800xl are both gonna draw a bit of power....maybe look at new ones, but try out your current one if you don't want to give it up. I would still look into getting a new one even if it seems to work as a future upgrade, just my two cents :toast:

Ok how about this, would it be worth while to go to the neopower 480 or the modstream 520?

I would just get the Powerstream 520 :toast:

Get a PCP&C 510 Express and never worry about your PSU again (or at least not for a long time)
