Hey, I need to get a new power supply for a family member of mine. The system I think, requires very little power.
The components are:

AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition AM2

Zotac GF6100-E-E GeForce 6100 MiniITX AM3 MB

Hard Drive, and Optical Drive, 2G of DDR2 Ram.

Just looking for a new supply that is reliable and doesn't hurt the wallet.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Antec EA380 or Corsair CX430 would fit the bill!

This is probably the cheapest PSU I'd go for if I cared at all about reliability:

That is if you're talking retail. You can get very high quality PSUs and other components for dirt cheap or at least way less than retail on eBay. For example, I got a used Enermax Liberty 500W modular PSU with 22A on both 12V rails for only $28 total. It was $120 back when I bought it new. (I liked it so much I got another.)
Here's an old newegg link to that PSU:

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see that you had an mITX board there. I'd still go for the FSP if it'll fit in your case. Can't say I have any experience with mini-ITX power supplies. But do try a quick search on eBay for any particular component before buying it new, since it never hurts and you usually end up saving a lot.

Any GPU's in there?
If not the Antec 380W should do just fine. Corsair CX430 is a little bit more than the Antec one.
