Hello all,

More noobishness from me I'm afraid....

I must have tempted fate with my other posts discussing GPU's and PSU's, because my PSU decided to board the ferryman's boat and cross the Styx - it's dead Jim!

I've been trawling the web like a crazy person and all the numbers and ATX's and 24 +4 pin madness has made my eyes hurt. I figured this community had been so helpful so far I'd tap the knowledge rather than torment my eyes further.

What PSU should I go with??? I know the decent brands, like Antec, Seasonic etc. My concern is the pins and rails and all that technical stuff and also good sites where I won't get ripped off. (it seems newegg are out of stock of everything lately!)

I ideally don't want to push too far over £50 ($83) but I also want something that is going to give me some room to expand and power my GPU for gaming. I was thinking 550 - 600watt.

Any help would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Yup, as I suspected. Out of stock. Newegg must be making a mint right now, and not surprisingly with those prices.

Thanks though Blackbird, I'll do some googling for that model and see what turns up.

I went with an XFX Pro 550 watt from the linked site you posted.

It's working a charm so far and it's even fixed some of my graphics problems!

Thanks for the help
