Hey
I just bought the "ZOTAC GeForce GTX 550 Ti AMP! Edition". Its product page is
http://www.zotac.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images-SRW.tpl&product_id=320&category_id=137&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=100256&lang=it
The package includes a DC power cable which connects between the card and the system power supply unit.
The cable is a "Dual MOLEX-to-6-pin PCIe power cable". It looks like this (random google image):

Now the thing is I'm lacking the dual 6 pin thingy on my power supply... so obviously I'll have to buy a new power supply but I'm not sure what's important and it shouldn't be too expensive (should be less than 100€).
I need a power supply with 400-500 watts (must be AT VERY LEAST 400 watts) that provides my hardware with power. My computer has the following stuff in it:
- AMD Phenom II Quad 955 4x3200 Mhz
- ASUS M4N68T-M LE mainboard
- 8gb of ram (2 x 4096mb)
- 1000gb s-ata hard drive
- 22x LG Dual Layer DVD +/- R/RW DVD burner
- zotac geforce 550 gtx ti amp! edition (my current graphics card is the radeon hd 5450)
My current power supply is: 420W LC power 420H silent deluce atx power supply
It has 420 watts but is lacking plugs as I already mentioned above.
I have already searched for power supplies. What do you think about this one?

It's 50 Euros on amazon but I don't know whether it has the plugs I need.
Or maybe this one for 60 Euros?

I have read on some forum that it should have at least 18 Amperes on the +12V rail but I honestly don't know what all that means I'm a complete noob
I don't know, I don't know...
Can you give me your opinions on this please? I'd greatly appreciate any help!
Also sorry for my poor English - it's not my mother tongue. I tried my best.
Thank you so much
