ive got my new comp configured and its like this

C2D E6420
XFX 650i mobo
XFX 7900GT graphics
2x 1Gb 800 fsb ram
the seagate 250gb hdd
antibiotic cabinet which has 3 cooling fans

what must be the power supply to be used with is system...Pls Suggest a PSU....It must also have a separate 6 pin connector for the graphics card

Just saw this thread: want to ask you geeks somethin'. Can today's 24-pin psu be used with an old mobo which needs a 20-pin connector? I need to change my psu: problem is, getting a 20-pin psu today is next to impossible. A fast reply will be very helpful.

yeah, it can be used, just forget the 4 pins.

The corsair 620W is much costlier than CM extreme power 600W, Foyr your rig, the CM 600W will be more than enough.

How?? The 24-pin connector cannot possibly fit in a 20-pin slot! Or do you say that the config is 20+4, where the extra 4 pins can be somehow ignored?

Yes, its 20+4. The extra 4 pins are usually detachable.

Even if the +4 pins are not detachable, you can just plug it in, so that the 4 pin part will jut out of the slot. Similarly, the 20 pin supply can generally be used with 24 pin mobos. I did so with my A8N-E and a good 20 pin PSU for months till I got an Antec 500W. At that time 24 pin PSUs were hard to get.
