    MSI K8N SLI platinum ?

    just bought myself (on line) the above mobo and 2 Leadtek PX7800GTX TDH cards.
    I'm still using my Antec True Power 550 watt PSU, but will this work in combination with that mobo/grafic cards ?

    I know it delivers enough voltage/watt but will the power connectors fit on mobo and grafic card ?

    It will work provided you have a 20pin to 24pin and SLI adaptors (which should come with the videocards) but you will probably limit your OC and may cause stability issues if OCed.

    I'd recondmend getting yourself a good SLI capable PSU

    yeah, the DFI board would be your best bet for a good overclock. That PSU will probly work, but you'll be pushing it pretty close to it's limits. An OCZ 520W or a 600W would be able to handel the load and overclock

    couldn't order it at that shop, they still owed me money

    will see if this mobo fits my needs, if not, I'll consider the DFI.

    although I didn't got a confirmation mail of my order, strange....
