My system is not stable and I suspect my power supply is not sufficient. So what would you suggest as a minimal power supply?

I would say you need at least a 400w name brand PSU. The Fortron 400w is a good choice as it's MAX output is actually 490w and it's cheap at only $60.

What are you currently using?

I'm using an Enermax 350W from my old PC... the seller thought it was enough but I have my suspicions. Rightly so it seems. ;)

Where can I get it for $60? Those I found seem to be higher...
