PSU suggestions needed

[dirtymick]

this is what i have coming what kinda PSU should i be lookin at? Nothing spectacular, and i won't do any OCing. Anything in the 40-60 ish range that would provide stabilty? The case is coming with a little okia which i was warned against using. But it was free with the case.

Motherboard

Processor

GPU

And 2 stick of 512 DDR400 until i can upgrade them also

Oh and a DVD rom/writer


thanks

A quick run through the PCU calc says less then 250w, so if you never upgrade, get this SeaSonic S12-330, even though shipping will put you just over your limit.

Otherwise, this XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W seems to be a good balance between budget/quality withing your price range.

I agree with doolittle you need something with 20-22 amps on the 12v rails.

The Card specs say that they recommend 30A on the 12v rail. Sorry I'm not good with all the PSU stuff

The manual from Powercolor says the requirement is 350W. I called Newegg.com, they will change what is on the website.
Please note that this is an open box item. A return from an unsatisfied customer.
Thanks for pointing that out.

When you choose a power supply look at the specifications for the 12v rails and add them up. Minimum in your case should be something like this:

12v1 12amps, 12v2 8 amps.

I need to point out that the GPU that you picked is an PCIx. The MB is AGP so it will not work.
