Cheap, reliable PSU for an integrated graphics system

[Kristijonas]

I plan to sell my GPU and PSU and only use integrated graphics. Could someone here recommend a good PSU for such low W loads? Priorities are reliability - #1 and low price #2. All the selection of PSUs in my country is here: http://www.skytech.lt/kompiuteriu-k...i-c-86_85_300.html?pagesize=100&grp=1&sort=5a

Without a doubt this one:

A good quality budget unit, it's the cheapest PSUs in that store from Antec, Corsair, and Seasonic (among the top brands).

Thanks lehtv, it seems like a good choice. The price is not that high and it's a really high-quality PSU. A clear choice, as you've said.

Out of curiosity, would these cheap PSUs threaten my system?:

Not necessarily threaten, but it's not wise to cheap out on the PSU. Cheaping out on the PSU is like building a bridge with a foundation made of cheap materials that might crap out on you the moment there's a traffic jam. It might make it without breaking but you want to be 100% sure, lives are in danger ^^. The parallel is also true in terms of longevity... A cheap PSU isn't likely to last nearly as long as a quality PSU, and in the end you're likely to end up paying for it.

Always check reviews from reputable sites on the unit you're buying, and if you can't find reviews, then you need to be sure that the manufacturer is trustworthy.

Thanks for your help, I think I'll take Corsair.
