Recommend me a PSU

[manofmany]

Currently have an HP A1730N and want to upgrade my video card to an XFX 7900GS. Current power supply is 300watts and I need bare minimum 350, so I figure a 500watt supply.

I have an onboard PCI-E slot, pci slots, 2 SATA board connectors. I am running 1 SATA HD, a USB DVDRW, and have 3 sticks of 1gb DDR2 RAM. Have about 6 USB devices going. Everything else is onboard, including sound and my current video card which will obviously be disabled. CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4600+

Need something that will fit fine and give me the right connections. Looking to spend less than $60. Thanks.

This one might work:

Don't expect top end for $60 though.

That is the exact one i was just looking at on eBay lol.

I don't need top end, just enough to handle 6 USB ports, 1HD and DVDRW, 3GB DDR2 ram, and a 7900GS Nvidia card. So stock system + a PCI-E video card.

I have found Ultra and Thermaltake to make very good PSUs. Take a look at http://www.tigerdirect.com and http://www.directron.com for price comparisons. Both have very good service. Ultra can be found at Tiger Direct.

If I wasn't broke from building a system this month, I'd grab a couple of these myself.

Nice find! I'm watching a thermaltake 500W PSU. If I don't get it, I'm going to buy that antec.
