No idea what psu to get

[Malarky506]

Hello, I have:
amd 3500+
2X512mb corsair value select 3200ddr
asus A8V deluxe mb
9800pro 256

and one fan.

I need to know what a cheap psu would be for me to run this without overclocking anything, all stock. Thanks!

I wolud recommend an Tagan 380W PSU, it isn't very cheap but you don't want to fry your PC don't you?

The Fortron Source/Sparkle Power 350W units would probably do the job (they actually go over 400W), but I'd go with their 400W as a baseline (which output over 460W), then I'd consider their 530W (good for 600W) because it's only a few dollars more.

If you want it cheap, than get a generic PSU that has 550W+ and check the AMP. Generic is not as bad as you think and they tend to be cheaper than brand name.

I recommend one of the following Power supplies.

1) Antec 430w True Power - $65
2) Fortron Source 400w - $55

These are approximate costs, pretty close to what you will find them for on the net.
