Hello everyone,
I bought a PNY 7900 GS. It comes with a split type connector i.e one end has 6 pins that fit on the video card and there are two ends that are molex (will connect to the SMPS). Do I need to connect both of those molex connectors?

(it looks like this)

Now regarding the power supply, good quality SMPSs' are hard to come by where I live. Can someone take a look at the specifications of this power supply and tell me if it will be enough to power the 7900GS? Also, if I get an 8800GTS down the line, would this power supply be able to handle such a requirement? They also have a 500W power supply - the specifications of which are not given on the site.

(the specs are given in the PDF, but here's a quick breakdown)

O/P Current +3.3V 28A
O/P Current +5V 30A
O/P Current +12V 20A
O/P Current -5V -
O/P Current -12V 0.8A
O/P Current +5VSB 2A

Approvals EMC, UL, TUV, FCC, CE, LVD, CB

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry for the bump,
If someone would be so kind as to assist, as I need to make a purchase this week, and I don't want to buy something that is not suitable. I think that I might be able to get hold of a Coolermaster 600W power supply (but that's much more expensive) - any ideas about that one? Thanks.

That PSU only has one 12v rail, so it might not be powerful enough. I don't know how much power a 7900GS uses though.

Thanks for the replies. Dean, that power supply isn't an option for me, I live in India! Thanks though :)
