Which PSU?

I've been having a few problems with my computer which I think are related to the PSU (its a no-brand crappy one and has loads of splitters\converters on it as it doesn't have enough\correct connectors).

I don't really want to spend more than £50 as money's abit tight atm, but I need one which has sata connectors (at least 2, preferably more) and can run 3 harddrives, 2 optical drives, x800, a64 3000+, 2gig memory, and loads of usb things. I would also like one which I can still use when I upgrade the cpu (to an x2) & graphics card (to something more beefy).

Is it possible to get what I need for £50?

Seasonic S12 430W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply (CA-000-SS)

All that and more.

Thats great, thanks.

Has anyone got any other ideas or should I just go for the seasonic?

The Seasonic is about the best you will get for the money so I'd quite happily recommend that as well.

Yeh, I'd say go for the Seasonic PSU as well. I've got the 500W version in my PC at the moment and its rock solid. I tested the rails on it as well at full load and it never even wobbles slightly

Seasonic it is then!
