Budge PSU recomendations

[Valset]

Friend bought a crappy ass best buy computer and now wants to play games on his 1080i big screen. I made him check the PSU and and its a FSP 300 watt. He is either going to need a GTX260 or a 4870. (leaning towards the GTX260) Price is currently an issue but I don't want junk. The system has a 640gb drive and a low end core two duo. what is pretty cheap to get him buy and still not be junk?

is he going to be adding anything later on, or is this going to be it until a new computer?

Cheap, great quality and more than enough power for your friend's setup and more:
Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU - $65

I second this recommendation. This PSU is the best bang for the buck out there right now.

a GTX260 doesn't look like its going to fit in his rig. for a 4850 (the short palit version) I am thinking a 430 earthwatts?

The EA430 should work fine then
