I have a Celly 2.93/3 80mm LED Fans/Cold Cathode/HDD Cooler/4HD/DVD Burner Lightscribe/DVD-CDRW/5LED Front power/1 120mm Fan/ATI 9800 PRO/Floppy/2x512DDR/LED CPU Fan with Fan Controller/3PCI (Wireless,TV Tuner/Modem) What power supply should I get? As of now I have a XION 500w PSU (476 max) and I have to rebuild it about every month due to static electricity (Mouse lags under windows, Mouse not recognized, KB Error, BSOD) I think this is the PSU acting up on me, is it and what new one should I get? I dont want to spend more than $50 on the power supply (shipping is a seperate cost)

Indeed, xion PSUs are rubbish. Get one of these

Not exactly $50, but you should never skimp on your power supply. Ever.

How's this? This one has "Purepower" in the name, that looks like the only difference.

As long as it's the second revision, yes.
The first revision of the Purepower wasn't all that good.

Ugh, what a mess. No offense, but is that lot really necessary?
