    srry, its just that i am in need of a new power supply badly, ive decided on this 580w power supply

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817709012

    i compared the connectors with the ones i have and they match up, the size also looks the same too, it got some decent reviews so i plan on getting it, but im not sure if it is enough cus i read something about the 12v rails and that you might need 2, but im not sure can you guys help my on that?
