hmm...i think i may go out and get the antec...but i am also afraid that i may have overworked the gpu because i was playing FEAR without the connector...i know im stupid but it said it just lowered quality to compensate for enadequate power so i figured that it would be safe, just that the graphics would suck...well...yah...if it doesnt work after i get the power in then i'll just RMA it...
