need help for new psu

[chrisc85]

Hi,
I have a HP Core 2 6400 (@2.13) with vista.
It has 2gig of ram and 2 320gig sata hard drives. it has one dvd drive and one dvdrw lightscribe drive.
I have just purchased an nVidia Geforce 8800GT to play the top games a bit better than the radeon 1650 it came with.

I have not fitted the card as I have read I need a bigger psu (currently only 300w). I do not want to buy a cheapo one but i do not want to spend more than say £35.
Could anyone recommend me a half decent one within this budget?

Cheers.
Chris

The place were i buy all my computer parts from is http://www.ebuyer.com its pretty cheap to what you would pay at PC world or maplins or something like that and it is next day delivery so you should check it out

Im not too great with computer hardware, and the more I look the more confused I get. I don't know what specifications are good

Looking at ebuyer, there's not much that meets your needs. These are all a little over your budget, buy I wouldn't be comfortable running an 8800GT on any of their cheaper offerings:
OCZ StealthXtream 500W PSU
Antec TruePower Trio 430W
Antec EarthWatts 430W

... Unless anyone knows of some other sites with cheaper deals?

Seasonic S12 II 430W
Corsair VX450W 450W Power Supply
