The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.
I got an adapter, 6pin to 8pin. Seems to work fine. Played a solid hour and half of F3AR yesterday. The 6970 will pull about 200watts, but can pull much more when overclocked and voltage bumped. I probably won't bother.
The 520 PSU is a high end OCZ that I've had for a few years. It has adjustable rails and I just love it. The 12v rail is single and is rated pretty high in amperage. My system is general doesn't pull much power though, just an old Phenom 2.2ghz quad core clocked to 2.5ghz. I know, pretty slow. :) Only have 2x2gb of ram, 2 HDDs, some fans and a DVD drive. So all in all, I'm probably still way under 520watts. My motherboard is a Gigabyte DS5 with the 790FX chipset, AM2+ socket.
I'll check out Halo AA today, been playing a lot of Fear 3, which is great btw, although the graphics are ho hum.
