PSU for testing gpu

[pyr0]

Hello. 

I am setting up a workshop for fixing graphics cards. I have my testbench ready:

Pentium g2030

2gb hp ram

Any single graphics card excluding things like the titan z or r9 295x2 that are comically expensive 

 

What's the cheapest psu I could get away with? 

I should clarify: this is just to test if the gpu outputs video. If it does, it will be benchmarked on my PC which has a perfectly good psu. The psu will never really be used for more than 5 mins at a time. 

 

Thanks in advance

I would get something that has at least 600W. Don't be too cheap or you'll regret it!

i'd get any seasonic psu above 500W

 

they're a reliable PSU brand so any of their model will do

and they're fairly priced too

A Seasonic S12 will do, 520W is a solid amount.

These options are all quite expensive, the s12 is £50! This psu is barely going to be used! I was hoping for a sub £30 option, something like the EVGA 500w
