I am new in this forum so i don't know much about how to present my problem but im hoping somebody can help me im getting a hard time how to choose a good power supply for my graphics card which is ati radeon hd 4800 series that has PCI-E 6+2 Pin, is it okay to buy a generic power supply (intex 500w) and PCI-E 6+2 Pin connector do you think it would cost a problem since my video card is true rated? by the way here are my specs
motherboard: msi 770-c45
memory: ddr3 2gb
processor: amd triple core
original power supply: great wall gw-500pw many thanks in advance

A cheap psu is false economy.
What was wrong with your original psu?
A cheap psu will not deliver advertised power, it will deliver it not on the +12v rails where you need it, Will be rated at peak watts, not continuous, Will deliver only at room temperature.
It will have fewer circuit protections so if it fails, it can destroy anything it may be connected to.
Here is a decent list ranking psu's by quality tiers:

And... it matters exactly which 4800 card you have.
Here is a chart of what you may need:
