    Any Tagan, Fortron or Antec will do you fine. You shouldn't need any more than 400w.

    LC Power are also excellent and a bit cheaper.
    www.pc-look.com for them should do it.

    lol....well never mind there Case PSU's that come with case's. I got a 450Watt Gold Q-tec PSU , lol it only has 12A on the 12V Rail and it is so cheap. I would never buy another. The only decent(ish) thing about them is the fans. They do a good job cooling and they pump out alot of warm air...

    You think that's a good thing :confused:

    Yeah thermaltake are decent as well if your not doing any heavy overclocking.

    Hi Kieran,

    Got a 350w hiper psu powering the amd 2800 that you sold me and i've had no problems with it. Some ok review on them also, one mentioned that they're recommended by coolermax, whether that means anything good i don't know but just thought i'd tell ya.

    Hiper are suppose to be decent quality. Im overclocking with a Antec Smartblue 350W. Look at my sig to see what else it has to power and my voltages are good too.

    Get a Fortran.

    They are excellent affordable PSUs.
    Rock-solid rails, and the power rating is actuallly a very conservative rating.
    They can push out more than they're rated at.

    Be-Quiet! PSUs are also excellent imho. HiTide have them here. I got the 450W Colorline Ultra Silent, rails are rock-solid and it's very very quiet!
