Help w/ picking out a power supply.

[me123]

I need to replace the power supply in my PC and need help finding the right part. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. Can any of you guys suggest one that would work? I would like to keep the costs minimal since it is an older PC and I don't use it much. Thanks

Thanks. Would there be any benefits of getting one with a higher wattage?

No, unless you plan on putting a powerful GPU in there (4830/9800 or higher)

For $2 more shipped I'd consider the Corsair 400cx. It has a bit more power on the 12v rail (30A), comes with a 6 pin PCI-e power connector (needed on some of the lower/mid range GPU's), and I think it has a bit more power connectors than the Seasonic PSU. It also has a $10 MIR, if you want to take advantage of that deal. So it would be $8 less than the Seasonic PSU, after the MIR. It's up to you, but I'd get the Corsair over the Seasonic PSU, in this case.

Thanks guys. I think I will give the Corsair a try.
