    hey so.. im a pretty hardcore gamer and now i feel is the time to start upgrading my pc parts..currently running this piece of crap http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/advent-centurion-cpq9104-03613895-pdt.html
    but hey im going to buy myself this graphics card http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?psn=000101&pid=290
    which requires a more powerful power supply, so im thinking something like a 650watt psu should be fine for running a single gpu, thinking of getting this psu

    just not completely sure if it will fit in my system or not :S any help would be appreciated, thanks John

    also with the psu i linked above it doesnt mention any 6pin pci express connectors which i need for my gpu, can anyone confirm if it does come with any 6pins? thanks

    That psu should power the card fine. Good choice for a PSU.

    It has two PCI Express 6+2 pin connections so your fine there.

    It most probably will, check on your old PSU that somewhere on the label it says "ATX", that is the form factor that %90 of PSU's fit into.

    The TX650 is a fantastic PSU, i have one and i can confirm that it has 2 x 6+2 Pin PCI-E connectors.

    Agreed with both PcLover and Burrell, good choice.
