Power Supply recommendations?

I know nothing (really) about power supplies. I'm rebuilding my computer to an AMD64 3200+, Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 & Nvidia 6600GT. I don't know how much watts it will take that'll support those specs + 2 hard drives, 2 cd roms & 3 case fans. Anyone know? Right now I have a 450watt powmax el cheapo PSU, and I don't want to risk shorting anything on the new parts. I'm looking to spend about $50-60..

Any help is appreciated, thanks. 🙂
 
For that price point i would look at the Antec PSUs. However i would strongly advise saving more money, and getting an Enermax PSU. OCZ or PCP&C would be a bit of overkill.

Yeah, pretty much anything from Antec, OCZ, PCP&C and Enermax will do. Make sure you get at least 350watts. Check my system (in sig), wich I'm running on a 350 Antec Smart Power.
