The Rosewill did have nice reviews, and I'm sure works well for most systems that aren't running such a demanding video card. Initially, it's why I chose it; good reviews and has the connections I needed.

The 9800 GTX literature says it requires 2 6-pin connectors (not a problem) but 24A minimum. Most of the modular (need explanation plz) PSUs can't get over 22A max on the +12V rails. I searched for one with over 24A and the Corsair (non modular, still needing explanation) linked above has it. I did notice only a single +12V rail? Is this compatible with the v-card?

Thanks for the fast reply. I'm hoping to get this answered and order today.
