Need a new power supply

[Blindbatts]

Will the ultra x-finity 500w be able to handle my needs?

Currently I'm having some issues with the monitor blanking when I delete video files, or locking up while playing video's full screen.

my video card mfgr said to check my 12v+ voltage to see if it's under 12v, and it is, I'm seeing 11.7v with hardware doctor.

video card is an AGP nvidia geforce 7800GS CO 256mb

my power supply right now is an antec 350w, the ultra is on sale for $9.99 after rebate at fry's/outpost so I'd like to jump on it, but I remember reading about some problems with the ultra x-connect's from the radioshack rebate deals a few months ago, is this model better?

Motherboard voltage readings aren't accurate but that Antec is definitely not enough. That Ultra is a hell of a deal and will probably be able to handle it but I wouldn't put one in my main rig. You can't go wrong with 10 bucks for a backup 500w supply though, hell I'd get a few of them if money wasn't tight right now. I highly suggest sticking with a good brand. Considering how much you spent on your other components, isn't it worth another $100 to know they're being fed good, steady power and won't be blowing up randomly? Get a more powerful Antec or an Enermax. Best bang for the buck.
