Cheap yet reliable PSU

[dragoon7201]

Hi,

im starting a new build, all but a reliable PSU is missing

So any suggestions on a good one? range from 50~100 bucks

It really depends on your setup. For a HTPC/Office/Family machine, the lower end Seasonic's are very good. If it's for a gaming machine, perhaps look at the Corsair CX series and XFX Core series. The XFX ones are probably better but a bit more expensive.

The sizing of the psu is determined by the graphics card/s. Without a discrete graphics card, you only need 250w or so.

One of the best budget psu's is the Corsair cx430:
At $25 after rebate, it is hard to beat:

Regardless, do not go cheap on quality in a psu.
Look for Corsair, XFX, Antec, PC P&C, or Seasonic of the appropriate size and you will not go wrong.
