I don't know much about PSUs and i didn't want to spend too much on one. I'm not sure if the PSU would work for the card I want. Heres the stats on PSU:
+3.3V@30A, +5V@28A, +12V1@14A, +12V2@15A, [email protected], +5VSB@2A
and it says it has overvoltage protection:
+5V: 6.8V Max, + 3.3V: 4.5V Max, +12V: 16.0V Max

The graphics card says:
A 350W PCI Express compliant system power supply (with 12V current rating of 20A or more)
A PCI Express compliant motherboard

Would this PSU be good? I don't want to spend much more on the system...

I would go for this one if I had to...

Thank You
 
alright
as i said before i don't know much about PSUs and i didn't know if thats how it worked or not (seemed a little weird that you needed an expensive PSU just to run the video card ><)

thanks
 
That one is a little weak overall, but the specs do meet all requirements. But don't go skimpy on your PSU. You can never have too much power :P
 
do you think that this will be able to power a system with an Athlon X2 3800 (65w), a stick of DDR2 ram, that video card, a case fan (blue LED), a CD wr/DVD drive, 5 (or so) USB devices, IDE HDD (using some stuff from my old compaq that this will be replacing)
