Nah, I have no doubt my HX520 PSU can handle a 280GTX. If the worst comes to the worst, I can upgrade, but I don't want to spend any more at the moment (I'm paying for half lol).

You mean a GTX280 not a 280GTX lol.

Looks good, again I find myself jealous

Are you really sure your PSU has the 2 8 pin connectors for the really really new cards and 180w/15a on the graphics card rail?.

I was going to check the pins before I ordered and if not, Ill buy an adaptor. I can also check it has what you say, but it's a relatively new PSU from a very well known (and good) brand, so I think it will...
