What power supply should I get?

[astonkieran]

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good power supply for my Packard Bell iXtream M5860.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I recently bought a new graphics card and I don't have the required cables to power it.

You need to state the model of the graphics card and some approximate budget for the power supply.

Palit SONIC nVIDIA GTX 460 Geforce 1GB Graphics Card

And around the £50

What CPU do you have?
According to your GPU I would get a 500W power supply, or if it is to tight to your budget get a 450W. But don't get a low quality 500W power supply, rather get a 450W but an efficient one (SeaSonic and Corsair have great power supplies).

A 550W power supply does do the trick. A GTX 460 is quite an old card though.
