So iv just bought a hd 5770 which says it requires a 450w psu, heres the thing, I only have a 330w one. Before i had a hd 5570 which said it required a 400w one but worked fine one a 280w psu.

So heres my questions, Should i get another psu? Is this an okay one? http://tinyurl.com/7j6s7fq

And finally are there any cheap ones that you could recommend?

Thanks in advance guys

dude psu is not something you want to pay cheap, if you get some low end psu in time all your components will need to be changed, so it is better spend a little more in a good psu for all system safety;

the ones abekl recommended are already good;

this one is good also;

with a 5770 no way i would risk lower than that. be aware that it will work on low end psus, but after little time, the graphics card will start to show problems, and soon everething will need to be changed.
