The title says most of.
I am in dire need of a new PSU for my PC.
The problem is, as always, I am on a pretty tight budget.
So with that said it may be a challenge to find a decent or dependable one that will fit my needs with in my budget and that's why I have enlisted you kind folk.
I am looking for at least 430w of power with good rails for $50 or less.
It doesn't need to be name brand but that would be preferable.

How many forums did you copy/paste this into?

Well I will probably get this one.
But I have a friend looking to see if he has any PSU's he doesn't use that I can get for free or cheap first before I buy anything.

Ok.

I recently got this one.

So far, I'm happy with it. The bastard is so silent.

PSU's get loud? Never heard of such a thing.

I looked at that one, it seems good but it only has a 18A 12v rail so it wouldn't really work for me.

If you buy cheap ones the fans burn up and they just crap so they get loud.





This is the one I decided on,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182199
It has a 41A 12v rail and is 530w and 80 plus certified.
Thats absolutely the best one I can find for around $50.

That's good, I thought you meant one under $50 or something I never knew you would go a little over.

Well just a little over.
not anything like $60 or 70

This thing is getting really bad I think, I had my gfx card plugged into the PCI slot and the PC was stuck at windows logo, shut it down, took out card and started up again and windows started fine then all of a sudden it all crashed and went to a black screen saying bootmgr cannot be found press ctrl+alt+del to restart. It has done this before when I messed up my boot menu and stuff but never while an os was booted.
I don't know if the PSU is really at fault here or not but its worth a shot.
If you know whats going on help me out.

Check and make sure everything is plugged in all the way, it could be something not plugged nto your motherboard right or all the way. It could be the ram.

I will do that right now.

I just ended up taking the PSU out.
Guess I will have to use my laptop until i get the money for a cheap case and that PSU.

I thought you sold your laptop?

You should to get money for your PC.
