GTX 280 Suitable PSU...

I have purchased the EVGA GTX280 (Superclocked Edition) VGA card from Circuit City. With such a purchase, it looks like I'm going to replace my existing PSU and Case (For better cooling). So I've decided to go with the Thermaltake V9 but what worries me is the PSU. I've got my eye on the Epsilon 600W PSU (Think it's adequate even though the minimum requirement posted on Circuit City is 475W?).

But then comes the whole issue concerning the 6 and 8-pin connectors. The question is: Do I need them both? In other words, do I need to connect both the 6 and 8 connectors to the VGA or just one of them? Or maybe neither? Might be a "n00b-ish" question, but I hope you bare with me seeing how it's my first next-gen VGA upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing you chose (PSU wise) is suitable for stable voltages/amperes...

Can you purchase things online?

EDIT: Is this the PSU you were going to choose?

If so, you are good to go!

hey question how much u buy the card for? and when did u buy it?

just to let you know best buy is selling a gtx285 which is significantly better for $279.99 which is an amazing deal. not even newegg sells that cheap.

I don't think Circuit City has the EVGA GTX280 (Superclocked Edition) in stock anymore, neither does Newegg, as I just checked both sites. I can't purchase things online, because I do not reside in the States. My friend is on holiday there now, and I just gave him the money to get me one. I did my research before throwing my money in the market, but I was unaware of Best Buy's bargain. It's one thing to ask your friend to click a couple of times and have a product delievered to his residence, but it's another thing when I ask him to go get my product in person. I don't like being a liability really.

The card cost me $255 from Circuit City (Purchased it around 2 weeks ago). And thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: I think I read somewhere that the GTX285 outperforms the GTX280 (Not OC'd) by 10% performance increase. And I'm buying the Superclocked Edition.

yea i guess thats a good deal then. they should run similar then.

congrats on that deal gtx280s are $300 plus cards

I have a GTX280 and switched to this power supply by CORSAIR - http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=023483&cid=PSU.830

I needed to upgrade from my old PSU because I would get black screened about 10 minutes into the PC being on which was an obvious power problem.

This PSU I am using now is fantastic... not 1 problem.
