Hi! I have a P4 2.8C on Asrock P4i65G, 1.5GB DDr1 RAM, 7600GS AGP, and eventually (rebuilding!) at least two if not three hard drives - a 20GB OS disk, and for the moment, two further IDE drives, one 120GB, and one 320GB. And a DVD burner.
The problem is the 7600GS - AGP. It needs power, apparently a fair bit of it, via a Molex connection. With my current PSU (Xilence Power XP550) I frequently get the Nvidia "Not enough power" screen, and suspect that this PSU may be at the origin of the death of my old P4V800-X motherboard.
Anyway, it's been suggested that I get this PSU:

(That is where I buy my bits from... Sorry it's in French - that's where I live - but I'm a Brit!)
It looks good to me - but I'd like a second opinion. Given that all my devices, especially that AGP card, run off Molex connectors, is this the right PSU?
