EDIT: i said never get a crappy PSU... and then thought about his aunt probably wont be gaming or OC'ing... so i guess its ok to get a decent PSU... but that link i posted is good for anyone.. look at its rails

yea I think thats the one I'll put in...good price

I like this one for a decent priced PSU myself...

umm.. of course she'll be overclocking and gaming!

Just because it has high amps, doesnt mean it has stable rails. When someone refers to the rails, they mean how close to 3.3v, 5v and 12v the PSU is during idle and load. Basically, you want the voltages or RAILS to stay as close to their designated voltages, and for there to be as little of a difference when changing the load amount. Amperage is, in basic terms, what a device needs to START up. A fan may require anywhere from .2 amps to 3 amps and beyond, and other devices need a certain start-up requirement. The PSU needs to have at least a certain amount of amps on each rail to start up all the devices in ones computer. Personally, I would never buy something made from Rosewill, as I have reason to believe it won't last very long. Go with a good quality PSU thats made by a reputable company, such as Antec, PCP&C, even OCZ and Fortron Source.

HEC are made by antec, IF you can find them, they're a good little PS
