Default Power Supply Question

Im going to be upgrading a few things on my computer.


For right now its the Video/graphics card and the power supply



with the card im going to use i cant go below 500w of power

my computer is a Gateway GT4023E
hopefully one of those PS's will work
with my computer,
if not please let me know and possibly
point me in the right direction if possible.



Which of these power supplies would you recomend?

One thing you'll need to check is what kind of Motherboard your system has. The PSU's you listed are all designed for ATX Boards. Some companies require specific, OEM PSUs.

Having said that, I like the last one.

It's a standard 24 pin connector so any aftermarket PSU will work just fine..
Click on connector "K" on this page
