What are your system specs, which OS are you running and what applications and budget do we need to consider?

How many 6-pin PCI-E connectors does your power supply have?
They look like this

Or if you have 1 then the Radeon 6850.

Im not sure Ive never taken the back off :-? Its probably due for a clearout anyway, I will check then, I was looking at the 460GTX seems good for the money, Ive also seen a 750w powersupply with 2 6pin plugs, I may get that anyway.
Thanks.
