Ok, let's make this easy.
There are lots of good choices in the $100 and up range, but very few at the low end. This is a tried and true forum favorite:
FSP AX450-PN 450watt 12v:2x18a PSU 20+4pin $56+8 4/19/07

POS.
OK, if you want a real deal, then I'd go with this:
Antec TPII-430 $70-40+6

that one only has 430w and 17 on 12v but is the o0ne i said a good one?

 

[Newf]

Ah, no. POS means pile of ......

 

[Newf]

that one only has 430w and 17 on 12v but is the o0ne i said a good one?

Actually the Antec has 2 rails at 17 amps each.

With a total of 31a.

Since you misread the amount of amps for that psu you probably did the same with the one you currently have. What's the makes and model of your unit?

 

[Newf]

31 amps is plenty. What's the beef?

 

[apt403]

Beef? Plenty? 31? Pants? What? I dunno... :|

o sry i really didnt know what that meant ok thx ill get the one you sugested.
your saying that psu will power 1 gig of ram a amd proc 3000+ and the 7600gt agp?
ps. just making sure

 

[apt403]

The True Power II Newf recommended could run 2 7600gt in SLI, 8gb of ram, and a 6000+, along with 2 or 3 HDDs.

 

[suicidalwatcher]

ok thats good
i just have one more question right now my old psu is AT will this ATX fit in my system?

 

[suicidalwatcher]

also if my mobo only needs the 20 pin whats the + 4 pin for?

 

[randomizer]

Just dont go sticking an 8800 in there.

Yeah, no problem. The Antec also runs well within voltage specs with little or no variation, has undervolted "fan-only" molex connectors for a quiet case, should last for years, and only costs $36 after you get the $40 rebate. It was a fair deal at $70.

 

[apt403]

An AT psu? 8O Those went out in the late '90s.

If your mobo only has a 20 pin connector the extra 4 serve no purpose, newer mobos have 24 pin connectors.

 

[suicidalwatcher]

from the looks of it the extra 4pin looks to be connected right beside it so does that mean the psu comes with an extra 20 pin only cord?

 

[Newf]

ok thats good

Are you sure it's AT? If so then no, it won't work. Your system must be around a decade old for it to be AT...
An AT system hardwires the case power switch to the psu, not the motherboard. The motherboard configuration is completly different as well.

when im older and get a job ima jump up to pci-e and also while im at it build a new comp but till then i just wunna play f.e.a.r. and hl2 on settings better then low and still get very good fps

Nope, the extra 4 pins just arent plugged in.
