How many Watts you need for your PC ?

[Namakan]

I have a 500 atm, so anything 500 and up will do

We need a budget first, then we can recommend psu's.

[Namakan]

I don't want to spend to much, max 100. but if possible stay around 50-80

Corsair's 620 watt PSU earned top marks in just about every review I've ever read. I've had mine since November last year and have had zero problems. I'm running 4 hard drives, an optical, an overclocked e6600, one 8800gtx and an audigy.

These guys have a good review:

Are you wanting alot of room to upgrade or just something for that system?

You can get a fairly low wattage power supply for that system.

[Namakan]

defiantly room to expand, lets keep it at 500

If you looking at going as high as say an 8800 combined with a Core 2 Duo in the future I would look at Antecs 550w Trio and up.

Or a Seasonic power supply from about the same wattage.

Seasonic are the best, but they are expensive.

[looqas]

Seasonics would be nice but they are on the edge of your price range.
