Okay, So Pardon my Idiocy when it comes to things of this nature, but I am looking to buy a new Graphics Card. What does this have to do with the PSU? I need a new PSU for the graphics card I am looking at. The Graphics card is the XFX ATI HD 4770 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150369[/url] I want a power supply that I can put in my system and make sure I have enough molex cables for the graphics card. Right now I have a shitty 300W stock PSU. I'm looking for a PSU under 70 bucks, any recommendations that Will work with this graphics card? Thanks in advance.

You're a champion. /thread.
You'd be better off going with a 4850 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150337[/url]
Really? What makes it better?
Just a better card overall. [url]http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3553[/url] Also cheaper.
Okay, so 4850 then.
Would the PSU work with the 4850? Just curious.
yes
It says the required amount of power connectors is 2 6 pin ones, that PSU only has 1. How does that work?

Semimodular is win.
Yeah 4850, because later you can Crossover and I think even be faster than a 4870.
Crossfire.... and no. Plus I'd have to get a new mobo. even I know that, stoopid.
There's little difference between the 4770 and the 4850. The 4770 falls behind the 4850 in some benchmarks, but only by 5-10 fps in most of them. I'd get the 4770 because of the power savings.
