Need a cheap PSU for a Core 2 Duo build, will this work?

I would never use a $20 PSU.

I agree. For a C2D build, you want something reliable. The PSU is the most underrated part of a PC, it seems. You should invest your money into a decent PSU. It doesn't have to be 700+W but you should invest in something good. Antec is probably much better than that $20.00 PSU. What happens when that $20.00 PSU takes out your $500-$1000 machine?

Personally I would stay away from Antec if at all possible....
You can get better quality in a Fortron build or even an OCZ PSU.......what seems to be a good PSU of late has been the XCLIO brand..
