Gateway SX 2380-ur22 Power Supply Upgrade options?

[magneezo]

I am receiving this computer this week and am already looking to get the Radeon
low profile 6670 to match up with the A10 5700 Quad core w/7660D IGP. But I need a better PSU than the 220 watt that comes in the SX case. The Radeon card requires 400 watts(?) so I am looking for power options in the TFX PSU category. This one looks to be a fit for at least 3 brands including Acer who manufactures the PC.
I am asking all experts to help here!
Thanks.

Might need to research the video cards a bit.
Recommended PSU for a system with one Radeon 6770 is 450Watts total power, with a minimum of 25amps. on the +12V rail
The PSU you posted is only rated at 22 amps., and I could not find any information on Kentech PSUs to see how reliable they are; hopefully some others will post with more information.

The video card manufactures often over estimate the total tower requirements for their cards as a 'safety' measure for them.
I don't know if this psu would work as it is only rated at 350Watts; But it has a total of 36 amp. combined on the +12v side. It is gold certified, and manufactured by one of the best, if not THE best PSU company out there.

Thanks for the replies! This seems like the solution I need!
I am tracking the computer on UPS and it should be here tomorrow by end of day along with the monitor
(Acer 21.5" Multi-Touch Monitor | DA220HQL)
Hopefully these are two choices that will go good together.
Last weekend I received two certificates for the E-Machines floppy disc settlement and Saturday evening I ordered these two items (wish I could've combined both for that big box AMD A10 but that's ok. New monitor's cool)
This was about the best spec offered at the site:
Gateway AMD A10-5700 3.4GHz Desktop PC | SX2380-UR22
We'll see tomorrow what kind of condition they'll be in.
The Computer is supposedly NIB while the monitor is refurbed. The monitor at the local Best Buy costs $399 and it's a Touch Screen with Android capabilities.
I'm excited yes but want that computer to scream! I've been reading up on the combination of AMD's A10 architecture and what they recommend to pair with it. A low budget 6670. Sounds good to me.

(6770 was a typo...sorry)

Would like to know how it went installing the new psu in the sx2380-ur22? Any problems as I am looking to do the same thing.

After looking it over I sold the computer to a friend who needed a PC. Never even got into it. I returned the parts and bought a printer. The PC is a challenge case-wise and overall just didn't feel I even wanted to mess with it.
