Hey, I've got a Gateway computer (http://bit.ly/14hA2rF), with the original Gateway casing and all. I'm planning to upgrade to this GPU (http://bit.ly/OZftss) and was wondering if you guys could recommend a good, cheap ($20-$50) PSU (500W-550W no less than 500 for the GPU) to support the GPU. Also then, with the new PSU and GPU, would I need a new case to fit all this? If so, please recommend a good looking, cheapish ($20-$60) case (PC will be used for gaming).

Thanks!

1st NEVER go cheap on a PSU. You get a cheap one and it fails you risk taking everything with it. I say look for a good sale on a corsair cx500-600. Thats what i did and got me a cx600 (64.99 on newegg). Thats just an option. There are other good brands out there. If your gonna upgrade your gpu to something that requires pcie 6 or 8 pin adapters a cheap 20-30 dollar PSU 1) might not even have it and 2) might supply enough amps.
