here's the portion of the psu's specifications from a website:1 x 24-pin ATX Motherboard1 x 8-pin EPS12V Motherboard1 x 6-pin PCI-E4 x Serial ATA1 x 8-pin PCI-E4 x 4-pin LP4 Peripheral Device1 x 4-pin SP4 Floppy Drive... i'm getting a phenom II x4 cpu, am3 motherboard, sata hard drive, dvd drive/burner, and radeon hd 4870 which needs two 6-pin pci express connections for power... would my psu have enough cables/connections for all my components?... from what i've read, the 8-pin pci-e cable is also a 6+2 pin pci-e cable? if so, then i can use the 6-pin pci-e and the 8-pin pci-e to power up my 4870? only helpful answers pls. =]
The latest AM3 motherboards I've seen all have a *4* pin CPU connector. It's somewhat common for power supplies to have a 4+4 CPU power connector. The specifications for your listed power supply list an 8-pin (EPS12V) motherboard connector. Unless that is a 4+4 configuration, you won't be able to power your motherboard with it. Other than that, the power supply would probably work OK. If you need a different power supply, check out a Corsair 650TX. That has the specifications and connectors that it will work OK with your video card and CPU, regardless of what motherboard you choose.
Your PSU should do just fine. Mother biard:24 pin and 8 pin connector HDD- SATA power Writer-SATA power G.card: ships with a 8 pin to 6 pin connector, so you are safe buddy. If its not shipped, buy one. Its dead cheap.
