Hello everyone, I need help with finding the proper 350w - 400w psu that will work with my HP p6725y PC... I am going to upgrade my video card to GeForce GT 620 2GB GDDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video Card and when I look at e-bay or egghead and similiar sites I just can not figure which one will work... some have some of the connectors listed and some have others listed but do not seem to have all the connectors as list... Can someone please help me sort this out and tell me what my options are... Thanks Tim

the internal connectors on my p6724y say:

[/list]One 24-pin ATX Connector
One 4-pin ATX power connector
Four SATA Connectors
Two 12V fans for CPU fan and PC fan
One 9-Pin header for power button, reset, power LED and HDD LED
One 9-pin audio header for headphone-out and Microphone-in (yellow requires matching front audio jack module)
One SPDIF out header
Two USB headers supporting 4 USB ports or devices.

Definitely agree - don't buy a bargain-basement power supply; you are playing with fire. The ones that come with prebuilt machines tend to be OK - not great, but OK for daily use - because if they used truly awful ones, they'd be swamped with technical support calls and returns...

You will be happy with that, and should get years of good use out of it.

I hope that when the time comes, you decide to build your next system yourself. Once you do, you'll never go back. We'll be here to help you out whenever that is.

Hello Moderators
I think it would be a good idea to take down/delete the racist emoticon from the "see smiley list". I can not see any reason why it would be relevant in/on this forum in anyway and to me it is HIGHLY OFFENSIVE... The one I am talking about is the only Racist one on the emoticon list. It is depicting a Japanese Person/People, and is titled offensively also. I do not want you to think that I have to go off on a tangent but in 2014 I would think that we should not continue to try to perpetuate a stereotype that the Japanese people and Asians are inferior and obedient people with slanted eyes. Whether you realize it or not that's exactly what the emoticon portrays bowing, with that hat and eyes.... Please remove it... Thanks

Regards,

Tim
