I have a 600w psu with one 6pin cable and no 6+2 or 8 pin cords. I did buy a 6 to dual 6+2 pin outputs converter to appease my video card.
The problem is I have 4 sata HDD's and a dvd burner already that I plan to add to this, and it shows the gtx280 min psu as 550w. Do you think that I will be forced to buy a new PSU? What if I just added 2 of my HDD's?
My build is listed below not including my HDD's or dvd drive I plan to add.
1 Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
2 Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80569Q9550
