New to Arcades - Need PSU Help, etc.

So, I have a supergun that'll be coming in a couple months. It's RGB's HAS. It takes molex power:

I have a few pcb/systems so far. I have a modded Tekken 2 that has the extra 2 buttons soldered to the jamma clip so that you don't need a kick harness, I have a Sega ST-V, a CPS2, and a Rival Schools board. I'm getting awfully confused when it comes to what power supply to buy. I heard someone say I needed at least a 450w, but that doesn't seem right as I can't even find one that high.

 

Would this one suffice?

Also, as far as a jamma connection to hook up to the supergun, I'm assuming I need a Jamma Extension cord, right? As each end is Jamma, and it's not being plugged in directly to arcade controls and an rgb screen.

 

Sorry for the elementary questions. I just don't want to destroy a board.

 

Oh, and one more thing. People keep talking about this -5v feature on these PSUs. I know that some boards need this to be turned on? But I'm not sure which ones that needs to be done to.

 

Thanks in advance.

"I needed at least a 450w, but that doesn't seem right as I can't even find one that high."

That is correct unless your powering a monitoring i don't think you would need more then 60-100w

Most people are using 130w SuzoHapp linear power supply for this project

Only downside is no off switch and you need to wire a power cord

Would need a Kick harness for the controls or a Neo Geo type controller

Kick harness you would need would be the CPS2/3
