I am building a new computer, the specs are a Phenom 940 CPU, with an ASUS M3A79T- Deluxe mobo and 2 X 2gb Crucial 1066 memory.

The ASUS board requires an eight pin connector to power the CPU, ( I am not sure if 2 X 4 pin connectors would work).

After Googling till I am blue in the face I cannot seem to find any descriptions of what connectors the various PSU's have.

Can anyone recommend a PSU with an eight pin connector.

I have up to £150 to spend but would like one cheaper than that if possible.

Hi Alan
I started a reply you some time ago but the s odding thing crashed and then a mate asked if I fancied a pint - 3 pints later I will give it another go.
Your board has a 24 pin connecter - like this View Image Motherboards.org - all decent PSUs will have this.
The 8 pin connector - like this View Image Motherboards.org is also a standard EATX 12v block and all you have to do is find a PSU to match.
Look at anything from Antec which in my book are the best. Look at Antec Basiq Power 550W PSU - 6x SATA 2x PCI-E 20+4pin ATX12V 4/8pin - Ebuyer. Or Antec TruePower Quattro 850W Modular PSU - 2x 8pin PCI-E 2x 6pin PCI-E 4x 12V Rails 80PLUS Energy Efficiency - Ebuyer.
Or maybe Coolermaster with Coolermaster RealPower 700W Modular PSU - SLI Ready - Ebuyer
