Hi im looking for a psu that is going to happily run this machine below with the option to cope with a future upgrate to my graphics card. Ive got a few ideas but in all honestly i dont know if for example a 400w psu will cope fine and resulting in me buying a 500w for no reson and wasting x amount extra.

Im looking for a cheapish unit, pref module cables and a decent make thats reliable for under £50 (lower if possible). So please hit me with ones i should be looking at.

Ones im thinking of:
Akasa Ultra Quiet 400W Paxpower Active PFC ATX2.2 PSU
Antec TruePower Trio 430W PSU
Hiper 580W HPU-4M580 SLi Certified ATX2.2 PSU


thanks

That PC hardly uses any power, but it's hard to find low power PSU's. The Antec EarthWatts 380W PSU would be a good choice, made by SeaSonic so it's efficient, reliable and quiet.
