PSU denomination & recommendation

[zero10iz]

Hello all,

I'm looking to upgrade my PSU in order to use a 8800GT (or if it gets too expensive, 9600GT). I have a Gateway GT5438, and support quoted my PSU's form factor as "ATX-12V PSII". I look on newegg and the categories they have are ATX, and ATX12V.

Now, I'm wondering whether plain ol' "ATX" is suitable for my computer, and what the "PSII" means.


btw, I'm looking at this PSU

will it fit my needs? It's cheap as hell and the reviews on it aren't bad. If not what's a good (preferably affordable) alternative?

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E4300
2GB DDR2 PC4200
320GB SATA HDD
Intel D945GCF mobo

Thanks!

No, not an Apevia or a Raidmax power supply, they are very low quality.Try this one, the OCZ 500w StealthStream, it's a good quality PSU, $50 after rebate and has free shipping.

It will fit in your system.

Thanks for the recommendation. Any answer to my question about the form factor? The naming is quite confusing, what is the meaning of PSII?

OCZ or Corsair are high quality and cheap you will need under 500W maybe 450W i forgot how much 8800gt takes, lazy to look it up today...
