Heres the challenge, i've read the stickeys, and honestly it doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway, I need a 500 wattish PSU under 50 dollars, with a PCI-E 6 pin connector. It must be compatable with a Gigabyte P965-S3 motherboard and be of sufficient power to run a 7600gt (will upgrade later, which is why I want/need a PCI-E power connector) 1 hard drive, 1 optical drive, a gig of ram, and a Pentium 805D at 3.8ghz.
I don't know whats compatable, or whats not. So i'll let you choose if you are up for the task. Once again must be under 50 dollars, or 50 on the nose.
I need a new PSU fyi because I blew up my current power supply when I got 3.8ghz stable on the proc, it was a cheapie that came with the case, 450 watt... I left the PC on for about 24 hours, came back and there was a strange smokey smell, and I turned off the PC. When I turned it back on, I heard a shorting zzzzzzttzzztz sound, and then what sounded like a marble or something dropped inside the PSU. Now no power, and it won't turn on. The smell was comming from the fans expelling air from the PSU, not from inside the case.
