Hey, I'm looking to upgrade to a better power supply than the one I currently have.
My current power supply.

I would like something that has atleast 600 Watts.

Now here's a question, is there a set length that the cables on power supplies reach to, the trouble with the one I have is the 6 Pin power Connecting cable doesn't reach down long enough to the bottom of my case, where my graphics card is.
My Case.

And from the requirements on the box that came with my card 400 Watts isn't enough. Now eventually, I'm thinking about putting another card in Sli Mode, and the box says atleast 600 Watts for that.
My Current Card.

Here is some site's that I'd prefer buy a new supply off.

www.elara.ie
&
www.komplett.ie

More so Elara cause it's accept my cash card as payment I don't have a credit card. But if theres something worth buying on Komplett I can get my sisters to use.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

p.s: If you need any more info let me know what ya need.

edit : Money isn't a bother I'll check it out now.

How much are you willing to spend?

edit: Go for a PSU with 550-600W. Antec is a decent brand, and you really don't need any more than 600W even with SLI 8800GT's.
+ you can get a decent one for around €100

Hi just had to get another psu as well and ended up for for this one at Ebuyer uk

The corsair are pricey but this ont will do me running a fairly power hefty system and still have enough juice to run 8800 gtx's in sli so it is very future proof.

Hey I like what I see on that one, how about the cables are they long enough to reach your case bottom without stretching?? there's no different compatibility is there?

I counted 24 pins on your mobo. Am i right? If so there will be no compatibility issues. My case is this http://www.hpm-computer.de/product_info … lber-.html
its one of the biggest cases on the market, one guy on the forums said once "it looks like a minivan". Its that big and so far all the cables are long enough. In my Infiniti manual it says "If you need any extra PSU cables call us". Enermax has a very good tech support.
