I need to figure out quickly if I need a new PSU...

I have a PC Power and Cooling 400W PSU that I love. It's hooked up to my Gigabyte 8IHXP Motherboard (P4 2.28 Northbridge)...I planned to transfer this to my new system to support,
an ASUS A8N-E board, AIT X800XL vid card and lots of drives. I'm not worried about power as much as I am about connectors. I know that new Vid cards have odd connections and the last time I upgraded my board I got caught with the wrong Mobo Connector.

Any thoughts?
 
Your card may have a 6-pin receptacle for a PCI-Express power plug, and your mobo will have a 24-pin receptacle for the main ATX cable as well as the 4-pin square ATX12V secondary power cable. Pics of all that stuff on this page.

If you have to, you can use adapters to adapt standard 4-in-a-row power plugs to the PCIe and ATX12V sockets. If you want to put a 20-pin ATX plug into a 24-pin socket, then consult this pic from an A8N-SLI manual.
