Picking A Power Supply

[Lancelot59]

5 HDDs, a desktop mobo, A 9800 GX2 gfx card (they didn't have a GTX 280), a floppy drive, a dvd rw, three USB devices, three cold cathodes, a few large fans, and a swiftech m665 water pump.

I might've missed some stuff. That's just what I can remember.

After much debating and deliberation with the voices in my head I've decided to go with this power supply:

It's cheaper then the other one that made the finals.

but I don't really need 800W, but by getting the corsair one I'm missing out on having a modular power supply. Thanks for the help everyone! Now I just need to pick a mobo, ram, cpu, and a few other things.

You also get the elusive 8pin pcie power dongle with that corsair model. Thats a bonus right there!

The ABS Tagan BZ Series 800W is Pimp.

Spawn, get off the chesterfield and read some hardbacks eh. ^O.o^

Dongle = Cord

I dont understand the need for the extra 2 pins(6+2). My research indicates that they are just grounds.
