or cheaper...
Newegg.com - FSP Group ATX350-PA 350W ATX 12V (v 2.2) Power Supply - Power Supplies

Fat.Clown's suggestion is also good.

Whats wrong with that one? Seems like he has some very nice hardware, etc so why not get a nice power supply?

Now if I would have said a 500 watt ps, someone would have said thats to low.

I'm assuming he is a power user, possibly a gamer?

It's like buying a corvette with a 4 banger in it, just doesnt belong.

Considering reading the specs he posted, it's more like putting a 454 in a kia rio.

Will any power supplies hook up to my computer setup.

No, there are many different standards and models, you need to know your exact motherboard model and video card model along with how many cd-roms, harddrive and additonal add on cards you have to best be able to choose a power supply.

Its alot easier now a days because almost any motherboard within the last 5 years uses the same power supply standard.

You will most likely need a power supply with at least a 20/24 main connector, a 4 pin or 8 pin motherboard connector, at least 4-5 molex or SATA connectors and with at least 1 6 Pin PCIE connector, (Some video cards need 2 6 pin and some need 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin)

Just ask before purchasing if you are unsure.
