Hi all.

Looking into upgrading my PC and The only thing I need is to find a suitable PSU for the card. I have little exp with computers so help would be great.

The card is a: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6870
Power recomendatitions: 500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for AMD CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)

Can anyone recomend a decent and affordable PSU?

many thanks!
Chris

Where are you buying from and whats the max. budget ?

I'm buying from the UK and max budget would have ideally have been £60 as i'm allready spending about £150 on The graphics card itself.

i'd personally go with the Antec one. *knock on wood* I have yet to have any trouble at all with an Antec psu. I've bought roughly about 10 different models of them never had any issues.

Never heard of it actually. NOT a know brand. Maybe better ; http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-600W-ModXStream-Power-Supply/dp/B001GLFD54/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1315412605&sr=1-5 even better ; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMPSU-650TXV2UK-Enthusiast-Performance-Supply/dp/B004O0P9TO/ref=sr_1_17?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1315412605&sr=1-17
Good brands are Corsair, Antec, OCZ, Seasonic. Make sure it's a 80+ certified. ( preferably with a single 12V rail of at least 40A.
