Just to make things more clear: Unless you have a NVIDIA 6800 or higher video card, you don't need (and cannot use) a PCI-E power connector that only comes on the 500 and 600 watt versions of the S12. (Sorry, don’t know the ATI model numbers that need the power connector). The 6800GT and below does...

In less than a month, I will be upgrading to a SLI setup. Therefore, I want to have the PCIe connector which the 430w s...

The videocard and the powersupply. After I am done with those I will look at an heatsink& fan, & fans for...
