Question about Power Supplies

what I have right now (at least I'm pretty sure) is a 350w PSU that came with my cheap case from NewEgg. I doubt that it will support a 6800 (non Ultra/non GT), so I'd like to know what would be a good Power Supply that I won't have to pay an arm and a leg for that will be able to support this upgrade. Also, I'll probably be upgrading in the future as well (CPU and whatnot), and I don't know if I need to have a high amount of watts for an upgraded CPU.

Thanks for reading this, I appreciate it.

EDIT:

Would a Fortron 400w be able to support my rig? I see a good looking one on the forums for 35$, someone please let me know.

DOUBLE EDIT:

forgot to mention that my setup is:
2800 barton athlon xp
1gb corsair value
120gb hard drive
vid card is going to be a 6800 regular (VGA)
cd burner and dvd burner

would a Fortron 400w be able to support all that?
 
Depends on what else you've got in that system. A QUALITY 350W and over will power it, but you'd best be off with at least a quality 400W PSU.
Maybe a Fortron, XClio, Enermax, Antec or Seasonic. 🙂
 
aright thanks for your posts, and no it wasn't Antec :|

The rest of my computer= AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton, 512MB RAM (soon to be 1GB of Corsair), 120GB Maxtor, 9600 Pro (soon to be 6800 😀)
