New PSU

[Billy213]

I'm looking at getting a new PSU because what people told me about this one i'm using now scared me a bit in case it all went tits up

its a Trust 370w with a +12V of 15A...however when i run PC wizard 2006 it says +12V 11.3, not sure if it's the same thing but i thought 15A was low enough in the 1st place.

As i'm looking at getting a new graphics card i don't want to chance it with his PSU. So basically i'm asking if you guys can find me the best PSU for under £50. The only problems i have with them is that i'm never sure if they are compatible with my mobo, a ASRock 775 Dual-Vsta. That has 20 pin ATX power connector with a 4 pin 12V power connector. It doesn't have to be a huge wattage PSU either, i only have the standard stuff inside (dvd-rw, 1 hdd, pentium d, ati 9200 so nothing major). But i need this to be able to handle the sapphire ati x1650 pro/xt. I know i'm asking for alot but i'm sure you guys can work some magic

also i would like it to be from either www.dabs.com or www.ebuyer.co.uk or any other TRUSTED retailer

thanks in advanced

I think this is more than enough for you current sistem..but just in case you want to upgrade i would recommend :

Yeah i was looking at that one too. Do you think that a X1650 XT would work alright with my previous PSU? Or would i be taking a risk by sticking with it?

Thanks

If you truly have 11.3 volts on your single 12v bus the psu is scrap.

thats what pc wizard came out with...

and also i was wondering about this PSU:

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=115238

it doesn't have as much wattage as the previous one suggested but i think seasonic are still a good make right?

+3.3v - 22A
+5V - 21A
+12V1 - 10A
+12V2 - 15A
-12V - 0.8A
+5Vsb - 2A
+3.3v & 5v Total - 130w

those are its power ratings

Thanks

Looking at your mobo, I would suggest you move up 1 model to the 430 if you want Seasonic.

My opinion only. Just allows some 'leg' room.

For the graphics board you propose, I would upgrade to a 500 Watt power supply.
The ratings you posted are standard. They do not, however, tell you anything about performance under load.
