E510 EVGA 6800gs

I am currently running a EVGA 6800 GS on my E510. It runs great on the stock 305w power supply.  I would like to upgrade my power supply for some furture needs that I will have. Has anyone upgraded their power supply on thier E510. If so what model did you use?

    I don't think you'll need a new power supply anytime soon. I have the 250 watt psu with 2 sticks of ram, a dvd burner, dvd rom drive, x850 xt graphics card, etc. You can post your system specs, but I don't think you'll need to upgrade, so save your money. Can you tell us what those future needs are, though? I could be wrong.

    I looked into a lot of eVGA 6800 GS reviews before buying mine.  Your max load at the wall outlet for the system you listed is about 240W.

    How did you connect your evga 6800gs to your e510 power supply? I have the same computer and video card and am having trouble....first the cable the card came with isnt long enough. Second, the power supply doesnt have the same connector. Third, the extension cbale i just bought didnt fit the power supply.

    What a hassle.

    Any advie would be greatly appreciated.
