Thanks being easy on me, Jelly Bean. I found this, Newegg.com - OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies in my search. If this one is good enough then that's perfect. What do you think?

Perfect I have that one only myne has a blue light.

It has plenty of power connections also.

You will find the wires rather thick and hard to bend unlike older PSUs.I use small plastic cable ties to hold myne back and in place.

Great! Thank you, Jelly bean and Hengis so much for all your help. I really appreciate it. I'll finally be able to play some games now on this machine. Thanks again for helping me through this!

Thanks for the tip, and I'll be sure to use some cable ties on it.

Well just to be realistic here.. a nice stronge 450w would have been plenty so the 600w is super overkill but the OCZ one is a fantastic price so it would have been the one I would have recommended anyway.. not gonna get a decent 450w even for cheaper than that $50.. assuming OCZ will honor the rebate. Make sure to jump right on that.

Hey guys, sorry to bother you all again but I ran into a problem. My power supply doesn't fit into my motherboard..... Is there anything I can do about this? I really hope I didn't just waste $75.00.

Eh... .wait nevermind it has like 4 pins that can be added to the end of it. Looks a little weird. Well, I'll see how it goes and edit this again when I'm done.

I didn't want to double post, but I can no longer edit my previous post.
Anyways, it looks like my computer is up and running completely fine, and now all that's left is for me to buy my videocard. I'm sorry that my noobness made me run to the forums for help. From now on I'll be sure to check things out thoroughly and read manuals. Thanks you guys.
