I need help picking a good power supply for this build

glitchmaster0001

Hi, so I am building my dad a new computer to replace his dying Dell desktop, I picked out all the parts except for the PSU. Idealistically, I would like to keep the cost under $50 since the total system cost should be under $200. Here are his new system's specs and what would be the best power supply that I can get for it at this price? I'm looking for the most reliable PSU. 

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600

RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (4x4GB)

Motherboard: Asus P8H77M microATX motherboard

Video card: AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB 

Storage: 1x Intel 530 240GB SSD, 1x WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM HDD

Optical Drive: Dell optical drive

Case Fans: 1x 92mm case fan

Add In cards: 1x 2 port USB 3.0 PCIe card, 1x PCIe Wifi Card

if your not gaming, you won't notice. If your gaming, get a used gpu like a cheap gtx 760 or amd 270 for about 60 bucks used.

Who cares?

The GPU will allow for more monitors.

 

The gaming on the 240 wont be nice but better than the HD 3000

 

The iGPU will use less power and (possibly) be quieter.

I own the EVGA 400w PSU and honestly have had no problems whatsoever.
