I have a PNY 1.5 Ghz GTX 480 that I'm giving to the father in law, he has a first gen overclocked I5 setup, not sure the exact model or speed as its a couple of hundred miles away.

Last i checked his PSU was close to load and he only had something like a gtx250 in there so i think he's going to need a new one.

Please spec the cheapest PSU i can realistically get away with, needs to be 80+ and a reliable brand though.
 
My rig will pull 400w from the wall easily enough so you are really going to want a good 650w-750w psu to allow for some spare capacity. This is the cheapest i would go for.

Looks like a winner, should be able to cover it by selling off the old components too which is always a bonus thanks guys.
