Gateway GT5220 power supply

[iliketurtles]

Mine seems to be dead. Problem is, I'm not sure what kind it uses. Can anyone link me to one that would work with the GT5220, please? I think this one would work, but I'm not 100% on that.

Thanks much.

Upon some more Googling, I noticed someone mention it used this PSU. However, the one I linked in the OP is a higher wattage, so I would prefer it, if it's compatible.

The power supply you linked is garbage. Only buy a quality power supply.

When power supplies fail, they can often take out other hardware with it.

What's you budget? You can basically get any power supply that fits in your case and has a 20+4 power connector.

Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, OCZ are all good quality brands for power supplies.

I assumed as much.

My budget is around $60 at the moment, give or take a few tens. Is this any better?

Great, you can get a BFG 550watt i beleive for about 40$ off newegg, that would be more than enough to powwer your system.

Cool. That's likely what I'll get unless someone suggests something better.

Thanks peeps.

neither, get this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139008 ($45)

Much better, how?

Longer MTBF
Double ball bearing fan
Single rail (better) - even with a few amps less.
Active PFC
2 Years extra warranty
High quality japanese capcitors
Much better build quality all round.
Cheaper


The Corsair has loads of power for that system.
