Hi guys ,

Well for Xmas i got a Gigabyte HD 7770 oc edition for my budget PC
specs:
----------
CPU: AMD athlon IIx2 260 3.20GHz
RAM: 4gb corsair ram
GPU: Gigabyte HD 770 oc edition
PSU: 400wat PSU
---------
When i went to install the GPU it went in well but i realized the PSU didn't have enough power to run it when i read the box(parents brought for me) so i was wondering what PSU i should get for this setup i have.. I may be upgrading my 7770 because i know i am bottle-necking this CPU but hence me saying "temp" in the title. Any ideas and recommendations would be much appreciated and i don't want to spend much over $100ish due to not much cash

Cheers ,
Mitchell

HD 7770 requires pretty low power to run, so any decent 400W PSU will be enough. The problem is your PSU doesn't have a PCI-E connector to power the card, so you can get a molex to 6 pin PCI-E power adapter like this one from local PC shop :
