Suitable PSU?

[Hefemeister]

Ok thanks. One question, if a PSU has one or many 6+2 pin connectors and a GPU you have only requires a 6 pin connector, do you just leave the extra 2 pins dangling?

yes I have a 750tx and a gtx260 which used 2 6 pins and they just hang there unused.

Yea, the 5850 needs two 6 pins I believe,

the 550vx is sold out at newegg.

Try this one
Newegg.com - OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7 - Power Supplies
