Hello,

I have a Seasonic SS 400H1U. I love the PSU. It is, however, very noisey. Very.

I need to power my F@H rig, which is just:

E6320 CPU
ASRock G31M-S Rev2.0
2GB DDR2 - 6400 RAM
160GB IDE HDD
9600GSO (nvidia, with a Zalman VF900 cooler, connected to the 'case fan' plug.)

What is the cheapest PSU that can reliably drive that? I have enough cash onhand, but my bank hates paypal, so unless if I start selling stuff, I cannot use online to buy an expensive PSU.

My budget, at the moment, is 37USD, with tax+shipping.

Thank you very much.

p.s. I also have a Fry's, within distance of where I live, so, that is an option, too.

EDIT: is

or

a good option?

EDIT2: Looks like the earthwatts is the better of the two? It has a PCIe 6pin.

EDIT3: the earthwatts is this:

The Corsair is a good deal if MIR and that additional 8GB SDHC card is acceptable for an additional cost of $15 before rebate once you factor in shipping. If you absolutely cannot spend $60 for the Corsair + 8GB SDHC card, then get the Antec EA380 for $45 with free shipping.
 
All right, thank you Danny Bui!

I'm just gonna have to sell something on [H]...
 
Thank you, Zero82z, I guess I'm lazier now, as I'd rather not have to use a 6pin adaptor for my graphics card. I've already spilt a fair bit of blood (yeah...) just repinning an 8pin to a 6pin on my current PSU...

@PC-User: Thanks!
 
If you want a PSU and case combo, take a look at Antec's offerings and avoid just about everything else.
