Recommendation for PSU

Chicken Patty · Jan 2, 2009

Hello,

I'm putting together a system for a friends grandmother who just had her E Machines fail on her.

I had a couple of parts laying around so I had her buy a AM2 Mobo and i'm providing her with a Athlon 64 CPU, the board is a gigabyte, and basically the computer has only one harddrive, one cd drive and a floppy. The only thing she is missing is a PSU. I'm trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. What PSU do you guys recommend, also how much power does that system need? Thanks for your responses in advance, I hope to get a few good answers shortly :toast:

never heard of any of them, whats your take on them?

Something like a FSP 300-400 watt should be sufficient.

Topower make some of the best budget PSU's.

That FSP isn't a TOPower, it's an FSP built

Heck you could get away with an Antec Basiq 350W.

I can vouch for the Basiq 350W
Been running an A64 3800+ 90nm Venice @ 2.8Ghz for well over a year and 8 months. Its also been powering an HD2600XT.
