Power Supply Upgrade

[MrMiniBeast]

Hello

I have a Dell Vostro 230, and wanted to transform it into more of a gaming computer.

I started by buying a new graphics card, the MSI 650 ti.

I was about to install it and realized the current power supply doesn't have a 6 pin connecter.

So, I need to upgrade the PSU but I don't know which ones will be compatible with the Vostro 230 case.

I would like the PSU to be about 500 GB, and around $30-$40. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I've already upgraded to 4 GB of RAM and plan on upgrading the CPU/MoBo in the future.

That looks like an ATX PSU. They aren't measured in GB, but in watts instead. Take a look at this.

The cx430 will do you fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139049

 

And what do you mean by you want the "PSU to be 500gb" ??

I'd probably recommend this instead

I agree with the previous posts, that the Corsair CX series power supplies will suit your needs.

Sorry...I meant 500 watts.

And that PSU is $5 cheaper on NCIX, so after the rebate it would only be $20. THat will work great.

Thanks

The CX500 would be a good power supply for your computer. If you want a modular and better quality power supply, I would recommend the SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze 520W or the SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W (80+ gold).
