    i carnt seem to get hold of a PSU that has a 8 pin PCI-E connecter...
    its going to be for the 9800GX2 and it needs a 6+8pin to power it!

    any ideas!?

    Pretty sure the modular range of the Corsair PSU's have it...

    Edit: Yes it does. Get the hx520w.

    That looks kinda overpowered, but if you need it, get one.
    And this time I'll not start yelling out "that is not good" before reading some reviews... :p

    You could use a 500-600W for a single 9800 GX2 ;)

    If you have a Enermax you can buy additional cable with 6+2 pin for g cards.

    You shouldn't need an excuse to get rid of a Roswell PSU :p

    Yes, I've been told it requires an 8-pin + 6-pin.

    Well, thats wrong for a start. The earlier versions of the Corsairs don't have 8 pin PCI-E. But, the later version do. I have a HX520 and that has 2 PCI-E 6+2 Pin connectors. In other words, a standard PCI-E 6 pin connector, with an additional 2 pin connector that slides down the side of it.
