I recently found that my PSU is incapable of running my GPU effectively, so I'm looking to replace it. I got some help from another user:

That PSU has two 12V rails, which ends up splitting the amperage. The GPU recommendation is 450W, which yours exceeds, but the important part is the amperage. Your PSU puts out 19A on both 12V rails, and the GPU requires at least 25A on the 12V rail. What you need is to get a new PSU with at least 25A on a single +12V rail. You should never cheap out on the PSU as it is one of the most important components in a computer. Additionally, a quality PSU will last you many years. Ideally, you should look for a PSU with 45A+ on a single 12V rail. This will also be able to fuel any future GPU upgrades you might be interested in.

This is roughly what I'm looking for. I can find plenty of PSU's that have a single 12V rail advertised, but none of them tell me if that rail outputs 25A.

Would anyone help me find the PSU I'm looking for? I'm also not trying to break the bank, something around (preferably under $100) would be perfect. Thank you!
