What 500+ Watt PSU would you suggest for sig below? I will not be upgrading the mobo anytime soon since I personally don't think it is worth the investment. I have been doing some looking around and most PSU's are SLI compatible but it does not mention anything about AGP plugs.
The mobo is a 20 pin 12V and Antec does use 20+4 pin but it does not mention AGP on any of the harness plugs.
Am I missing something I should know?
Here is the Antec 550W specs mentioned above;

All replies are appreciated
Yep, I am a newb on this subject and researching did not bear any fruit
 
For an AGP. The older ones are powered by the motherboard. On the newer units they eat off a 4 pin molex. You will have to tuck away the extra plugs if you get the SLi version.
 
Wattage isn't important, but in this case that antec is fine, the other reccomendation wo uld be a fortron 500w bluestrom from www.ewiz.com (search fsp) or www.actbuy.com, it will probably save you a few dollars, but the antec is possibly a slightly stronger unit so it's up to you. And I'll agree with enablingwolf on the agp card thing.
