    Oh, BTW, I'm sure the 5830's second-hand won't be worth much with the 6XXX's, and a new one wouldn't be much either.

    Eh, they should be giving more performance for the same power consumption. It doesn't always go like that (fermi) but that would be the general expectation.

    Well, anyway, it's not the extra power I need, it's the extra PCI-E plugs.

    2 6-pins for a 5830, If I get a second one I'd really prefer to not use the Molex Adapters, prefer so much I'm willing to spend about €30 more on a better PSU.

    Maybe I'll go with that, considering it's modular and slightly cheaper.

    I was getting a TX, which the 650W only has two 6+2 connectors.

    Oh! :D

    I think I'll go for the TX750 over the HX650. Only €3 or so more and I can hide the cables anyway.

    Going with: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/219208 instead of CM690II advanced, I originally wanted to get a HAF anyway.

    F*&^! Paypal has decided not to work on Ebuyer, gonna risk it and order from Komplett, as despite all the negative stuff, I'm sure there's plenty of people who got their order succesfully.

    I did warn you about using Paypal with Ebuyer. You have to use Google Checkout, it's the only payment method that works.

    Yeah, but Google Checkout is no longer there. I ordered similar parts from Komplett anyway, here's hoping they'll arrive!

    Actually your right, hopefully it's just temporary though as I don't know how anyone in Ireland will be able to order from them again.

    Wish I was wrong, then I would cancel my Komplett order and get it from Ebuyer.
