PSU choice for graphics card

[salman]

Hi, could someone please recommend me a PSU to go with this graphics card (below) I'm not really sure what my budget needs to be (as cheap as possible). If possible I would prefer to buy a case with an inbuilt PSU. Could you please make your recomendations from the these:

(I can't afford a core 2 duo at the moment

The Antec Earthwatts 380W is a great choice. If that's not to your liking, the Thermaltake TR2 470W is another good option.

That Antec is a safe bet.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'm leaning more towards the thermaltake just because of its higher wattage. Are you sure that the antec earthwatts will be able to power the 7600GS that i've chosen?

Most certainly, and probably better. It more about amperage and efficiency than pure wattage.

Antec makes a solid PSU, with either your upgrade options are limited but the Antec will at lets provide stable efficient power for the time being.
