Wish I could have found you something better. but everything is 200+ lol

eventually you can sell that 6950 and upgrade though, so its no problem.

nice psu, i was planning to get it, tell me how it runs.
The psu runs great although its a little bit of a stretch to get the 8 pin cable up to the top of my mobo when run through behind the mobo tray. im happy with it and i got it for only $70 new runs cool, no issues, fully modular
