Psu for graphics card

[brendanb581]

I need a cheap psu for a 9800 gt. I know it's not a very good psu but it's only 23 quid and I think it should be ok for this card but I want opinions.

I would suggest this, only 10 quids more get you a much higher quality unit: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/400W-Corsair-CMPSU-400CXUK-Power-Series-PSU-ATX-PS-2-80plus-Efficiency-UK-Version

take my advice dont skimp on the power supply if you want your pc to last longer get good brand PSU from thermaltake or corsair of course i would go with corsair get corsair 500 watt psu thats all you need or 550 if you considering to have dual cards

A 9800GT only needs, at most, about 8 amps. The 400CX is a much better PSU, not too expensive, and will be more than adequate to power your system.
