The 9600GT needs a minimum 26A on the +12V rail.

The one you listed only has 18A on a single +12V rail.

Brilliant,,,i dont want to spend £500 on a new pc for my girlfriend then have the PSU destroy the graphics card or something! Iam going to get the corsair one then, it doesent cost all that much more. Anyway thanks for your help.
