*UPDATE* Which power supply for EVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GT 1gb?

[johncatman]

EDIT
After researching my graphics card EVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GT 1gb I was looking for a good power supply for it and my system (HP Pavilion P6130f) and I have found two that looked really good for my price range. the CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 V2 430W , and the XIGMATEK NRP-PC Series ACXTNRP-PC402 400W. This card claims to need at least 450w, but I have been told that this nice 400w psu is good enough or the 430w. other have said its not enough and I should get another. I want to make 100% certain.
Thanks in advance

The Xigmatek is the better PSU. No little red voltage select switch, and has 32A between its 12V rails. I'm not sure how much I like that PSU, but given those choices its the one I would pick.

Between those two I'm not sure which is "better". The Xigmatek has more usable power. 34A vs 28. But at least I know who made the Corsair. Either of those will power your 9800GT. A typical system with the 9800GT needs 22A.

Overclocked EVGA, same power reccomendation

The Xig is under the $40 budget you mentioned in your first post, the Corsair isn't a bad deal if you don't mind waiting for the rebate.

just as a question are you going to buy this graphics card (wouldn't reccommend it) or do you already have it?

I was going to get it, Is there a better one available? Because I need a graphics card that:
Is Nvida (My Chip Set Is Nvida)
Can be used with a power supply that cost about 30-50$
Is compatable with pci express x16 1.0
Any Ideas?

It doesn't matter what chipset it is, any GPU can be used with it.
