hi, will any power supply work with my P>C. ARe there special requirements? I am running a 350volt power supply and would like to upgrade to a larger one before i do some cpu/mobo /hdd upgrades. what do you reccomend? what is a great value for the money in terms of quality and performance? thanks
 
I have an ENERMAX All in One Noisetaker Series EG701AX-VE SFMA(24P) ATX12V 600W PSU and it seems to work great. The thing I learned when buying new power supplys is to look for the new pin setting on the motherboard. 24 instead of 20. Do not use a converter to goto 24 from a 20 pin.

Seasonic, Enermax, Tagan. Tagans happen to be my favourties for various reasons however.

Any of those (and any power supply generally) will work. Although if you're looking to use SATA drives+generally newer connection types etc then a more modern one (as those above) would suit you best.
 
I think the Fortron Blue Storm power supplies are great value for your money, it's something like $70 for 500 watts. Although they are not the quietest around, they do have the best efficiency you can find.
