Motherboard = ASUS P4SD-VX Socket 478
PSU - Xion 500 watt ATX Ver. 2.20 Power Supply
Connectors
* 1x 20/24 Pin Motherboard Connector
* 1x 4-Pin +12V Motherboard Connector
* 2x 6-Pin PCI-Express Connectors
* 6x 4-Pin Molex
* 2x Floppy
* 1x 5-Pin SATA
My old power supply has another wire that is blue, white...and I think brown. Its not in front of me, but I do remember blue and white...and it was only a 3 wire connector that went to something on the motherboard. I believe it said power for fan...or something.
But, the Xion Psu doesn't have the 3 pin connector, but it has 4 pin connectors. Is it compatible? Or, do I need a new motherboard?
Is this power supplly compatible with this motherboard?

Well...this is a cheaper psu, 50$, but, its just so I can use a Geforce 7800. I am actually going to be building a new computer. This is just so I can play oblivion on high. And, what is a reputable power supply? The one I will put in my new computer is going to be a 800 watt SLI. What is a good one for this?

It doesn't exactly matter what PSU wattage you have... any crappy PSU in use means the chances your system blows up increases exponentially. IIRC, some of the reputable manufacturers would include Enermax, Antec, Seasonic... and others I cannot remember off the top of my head. If you're not spending like $100 or so on the PSU, you are very likely going to be burned. Do yourself a favor and google about what people think of said PSU and the manufacturer.
