I have a Pentium D system (945G) with 2 HDDs, 1 DVD RW, 1 DVD ROM, Audigy 2 ZS, PCI wireless card. I intend to pick up a 7600 GT for this machine. I will not be doing SLI nor am I over clocking. What brand/model/wattage PSU would you recommend for this machine?

It depends on if you plan on overclocking and/or upgrading in the future. Also, how much do you plan to spend. On the very very low side of things, newegg has a $20 fsp (fortron) PSU that had dual 16A +12v rails which is a steal for the price.

No overclocking, no further upgrades. This is an HP office PC given for home use. I dont want to change too many things on it.

Is there a reason not the use the HP power supply that came with it? Is it too weak for the 7600gt? I took a quick glance at that list and any of those should work, with the exception of the SFF ones.

Minimum powersupply for a 7600GT is 300 watts, that HP probobly has at least that, so it should be fine.

The S12-380 will definitely be enough. The S12-330 should be able to handle it, too.
