Enlight makes excellent power supplies, there's one well below 45 dollars.

may I suggest you buy a different motherboard? ECS is known for low quality and for having problems. Look for an Asus, ABit, or DFI with the nforce chipset.

Have you looked at thermaltake yet lowrider? they make some of the best power supplys on the market today. This one has a great price tag on it and has 420 watts which is more than enough for most people. I currently own this psu. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...153-011&depa=1 they are basicly the same thing except mine has 60 more watts and has led lights in it and there are a few other small differences.

Which psu you get doesn't really depend on the cpu, only think is that if you have a p4 then you need a psu for p4 but almost all psus are. A good psu is the enlight 420 watt.

I would say that's not quite true. I'd say PC Power & Cooling, Tagen, and Enermax are more top of the line. However, you pay a premium for those brands and as good as they are I don't see a reason to spend that much when you can get an Enlight or Thermaltake of nearly the same quality for half the price or less.
