Am gonna sell the 420W PSU that came with the case on Ebay. But I was wondering what PCI Express-compatible PSU should I get for my new system? It's in my sig.
Thanks

p.s: I don't wanna spend more than 50$ on the PSU

I found 2 inexpensive 24-pin PSUs:
Logisys 500W Mesh Power (17A on the 12V)
Premium 400W ATX PSU (19A on 12V)
Both cost 40$, but the Premium PSU costs extra 12$ for Tax/Shipping whereas I couldn't fine the shipping/tax price on the other PSU's website.
I suppose these PSUs are fine for me because I don't wanna spend too much money on a PSU and they're good on the 12V rail (the Premium is stronger than the Logisys, but maybe the 500W makes up for that, don't you think?).

Wow, this is one of the best PSUs I've ever seen! 500W, 28A on the 12V, support for 24-pin. All that for 52$!
I didn't get it though, because I got a I-star 24pin converter. And I replaced the RAIDMax psu with the old 400W Antec I got in the older PC. But I'll probably upgrade my PSU when I upgrade my CPU or Video Card in the future. Now I am fine with the converter.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. Again this looks like a great PSU.

I heard that 20-->24 pin PSU converters could cause a lot more stress on the 12v rail...

I don't wanna spend much money on power, that's why I got the converter. It's working flawlessly so far with my Antec 400W PSU (18A 12V)
