Current Power Supply (Stock PSU)

Yes, I know it is a piece of ****. I want to replace it with a Power Supply between 400W-500W any more than that is very unnecessary for me. I plan on purchasing a new video card for at the very most $200 (NVidia: 8600GT, 8600GTS, 8800GT ATI: 2600XT, 3850, 3870). Here are the dimensions of my current PSU.

Price range up to $50


Power Supply Unit Size Measurements
W x H x L
150 mm X 86 mm X 140 mm
5.90 in X 3.39 in X 5.51 in


And here are my specs.

CPU: AMD Athlon x64 x2 Dual-Core 4100+
MoBo: ASUS A8M2N-LA (NodusM3)
RAM: 1024 MB DDR2 533 Dual-Channel (512x2)
Video: Integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE (128mb shared)
PSU: HIPRO HP-D3057F3R ATX12V 300W Power Supply 100 - 127V/ 200 - 240V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817174026
Hard Drive: Seagate 320GB SATA
OS: Windows Vista Premium 32-bit
3 PCI Slots (2 open)
1 PCI-Express x16 (open)

Nothing worth recommending at Fry's in your price range.
Here are two decent choices:
Antec Earthwatts 430 @ $60 Silverstone ST40F $70

I just love how someone will come in here and start out with the worst baseline, only buy from one place and not pay over. Using those set guidelines I say, just go to your store and tell the guy you want a PSU for $50 and have a good day.
OR
Listen to the advice of the people from whom you asked it. Get a PSU that will serve you and your rig for more than a year before it dies and takes your computer with it.

My recommendation:

Why limit purchase to just Fry's and $50? Spend a little extra and get this;
