Just a few days ago I recieved my new 975X motherboard... so far, Im back to using the original system I had, because of the PSU... It barely worked and crashed in like 2 minutes.

What EPS PSU should I get? I want it cheap... very cheap, around 400Ws will do. I have a budget of $130 AUD.

10 bucks it's not your psu .. upgrade the bios, run at conservative settings, test stability with memtest86+ and prime95. then move on to atitool and 3dmark to stress the video card

The DFI Infinity Motheboard has a 20+4 ATX connector and 8 pin EPS Power connector as well as a 12v 4 pin floppy connector (why not molex???)... My PSU that I tried using was only 400W... and it did not have an 8 pin EPS. Should I just buy a 8pin eps adaptor for molex instead? My PSU is Generic from King World Enterprieses and its 400watts.

Would a Generic400W PSU Hold under these circumstances?

Core 2 Duo e6300
DFI 975X Infinity (EPS adaptor)
X1950 PRO Gigabyte (yay for zalman) (PCI-E power adaptor will be used)
