Building new PCI-E comp

I am going to be building a new comp in the next few weeks. I was pricing parts and was looking at Power Supplies...I found an article about a thermaltake PSU that had a PCI-E connector. Do I need to find a power supply with that type of connector or will a normal ATX PSU work fine? This is what I was looking at:

if that won't work can anyone recommend me a good PSU? I'd lilke to stay around that price point if I can and to keep with a good brand like Antec or Enermax. It will be running a 7800GTX but I've had an antec smartpower 480W for a while and it's been great.

    You are certainly on the right track with that Antec PSU. It has the 24 pin connector as well as a PCI-e video card power cord if you decide on an Nvidia card. In addition it has 2 separate 12V rails which is preferable for NF4 and PCI-e. :thumbsup:

    Good review of a lot of the top PSUs at Toms Hardware.
