Hi, im looking to purchase a new psu for my new graphics card. Im looking to spend around £30, the following specifications must be met.

20+4 MOBO Connector
2 Sata Connectors
6 Pin Pci-e Connector
4 Molex Connectors
1 Floppy Connector
Works on 115/230


Other Bonuses would be low price + low noise + Modular ^^ . It would be nice if you could give the link of site where sold not just the brand/model.

Thanks in advance! thumbs-up.gif

You didn't specify what you will be powering, but both of the below come in around the £30 mark and are decent power supplies.

Antec Earthwatts 380W - £33.05
OCZ StealthXStream 500W - £34.77

Both should also be pretty quiet (I know from personal experience that the Antec is).

The rig

MSI p35
9600gt OC
4gb of ram
two 250gb HD

Could you give me the name of the product not just the brand?

If you'll be running a PCI Express video card, make sure the power supply you choosehas more than the minimum 12v necessary to power it. They'll usually power them fine under normal operation, but under load, you'd possibly have problems. I just encountered this problem. I snagged up a 430 watt Thermaltake and realized AFTERWARDS that the 12v was at 18 and the video card required 26. I then had to scour evilbay and Newegg for a different power supply.

400-450 watts is usually enough to power a small system, but for gaming, I've always went 600w+ just to make sure, and I also always made sure that the power supply had a minimum of TWO 12v rails


Good Luck

I stick by the recommendations I made in my first post.
