Power supply question

I use right now an antec truepower 430. It is about 3 years old right now. I was going to buy this build:

I also have a dvd drive and one ide hard drive along with a SB audigy 2 and a net gear nic card.

I have already checked and I know the mobo will support my 20pin power supply. However, I don't think that I will be able to run that 1950pro on it. But I am not sure. what do you guys think/suggest.

 
well that tells me the total wattage is enough.. what it doesn't tell me is if it will support the video card. I think the trupower 430 on has 20amps on the +12v rail and I think they recommend 30amps. This is mainly why I am asking
 
Open your three year old TP430 and I will bet even money you find leaking/venting/swollen Fuhjyyu capacitors on the secondary side. That's where all the wires are soldered to the PCB.
Throw a high load on it and it just might pop with a little light show. 😉

Buy.com has the Corsair HX520 for $88 at Google check out, it might even have free shipping. Enjoy! Because this PSU is tits! 😛
 
Alright well I need a suggestion for a decent psu that doesn't cost a ton. around $50 that would still power the above system would be nice.
