Hey guys, Iv had a 2nd HD3870xt give up the ghost on me and now I am trying to source the problem. As advised my PSU may be the problem and it is a 2 and half years old Hiper Type R 580w! Its powering the system in my sig with 2 hard drives and an Audigy 2 ZS and and I was looking to see what you guys could suggest without completely breaking the bank here. Dont really want to spend more than £50 unless some very good reasons can be given

cheers guys!

Have a look at the ocuk huntkey psu's. They're supposed to be cheaper than the big brands but using quality components. If you could stretch to £70, you could get the Corsair HX520, which would be spot on for you.

The Corsair HX520 would be your best option.

An OcUK Huntkey is a decent option as would be a Akasa Paxpower 500w for around £50.
