Look guys:

I have the following cpu:

Athlon II X2 2.8 GHz
Asus MB M4N78 SE
GF 7300 256 MB
1 Memory 2 GB DDR2
1 HD
1 DVD-RW

My question is which of the following power supplies that I already have suit better with the CPU:

Generic Hallion 500 W Power Supply
Allied 350 W Realliable Power Supply

And 1 more question, If I use it for 8 or more hours per day, would I need some air refrigerition?, I have a couple of 8 mm coolers and 1 extractor of air cooler, but don't know If the PSU can handle them.

I don't plan to buy any more components, just want a cheap and safe PC. Thanks for your answers :)
 
um i cant find reliable reviews on these power, atleast get a budget suitable ps such as Antec NEO ECO 520C for 60$ bucks, and ya ud have to be more specific about ur heatsink and fans , what make and model, what size fans and if theyre compatible with ur current case

Thanks for your answer!, It solved my doubt. I'll try in the future to get a relliable PSU. Unfourtanly in Peru, were I live, those PSU are not really cheap, costs like 50% more.

Hey! I put the 500w one and surprisingly it made a flash and inmediatly stinked to something burned, I think it made a short circuit or something like that, I guess that psu doesn't work anymore.

I need a PSU for replacement, what do you recommend?, on my market I saw a:

Cooler Master Elite Power 460w
Model RS-460-PSAR-J3
Series Elite 460

It's cheap and I could afford it, but what do you think about?, I need a safe PSU and one that in the future could support a better graphic card, may be an ATI 6600 or 6700 (medium range).
 

Ya it's cheap and a relabelled 400W unit with no overcurrent protection.
It only delivers 420W.
It's ok but i wouldn't pay more the $30 US for it.
Give us a link to a retailer in Peru please!
 
wheres the Corsair lol all i see is Tr2 junk and the expensive coolermaster ones
Actually there's a couple.Only units worthwhile in a sea of Thermaltake crap.

I have no idea about currencies in South America but to the OP is it feasible to import a psu from Brazil?
They actually have shops with a selection of good units.
