Does it matter if I just use ONE 6 pin -> molex cable directly to the PSU, and then use adapters to power everything off the same cable ? ( 6 fans, 2 optical drives, 2 HDD and 2 SDD)

Like it says, I haven't found a clear answer. I've been given a radeon 4870 and would like to put it in my Inspiron 580. I know my power supply is probably too weak for it, so I wondered what kind of power supply would be needed.

Hello, I am building a gaming PC an am on a strict budget of 550 dollars, I was set on the 2500k, but with it's price, it doesn't leave much room in my budget for a good video card, and the I5 2320 would give me more funds towards one, so is the 2500k worth the price difference between the 2320?

Rather than throw the towel in and build my...
