Recently purchased a radeon hd 4830 graphics card and I just noticed that the power supply on my computer is only 300 watts , 500 watts are required to run the card.

So I'm looking to upgrade, couple of questions

Would any new power supply fit or am I GOING to need a certain one? Preferably looking for one that's less than $30 and that I can get through newegg.

Also it's going to need those connector deals to connect to the graphics card since it REQUIRES it, mine's a piece of crap and didn't have that as well.

Any help or points in the right direction is appreciated, thanks! Make of computer would help Sorry forgot that, it's a crappy Dell Inspiron 531, there also seems to be not much breathing room in there

Processor is a Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+, 2gb ram, VistaOne reference SAYS that card takes 110 watts of power
Where do you live?
Hopefully someplace that has cool weather
Are you sure 500 watts will do? says min 500 watts on the box. it's also suppose to connect to the power supply and mine has no empty power cables or whatever.At any rate i would not risk a $30.00 PSU on a $200.00 vid card.
You may want to rethink your strategy here...card was $100 (and I had a giftcard to go with it). I recently got Left4Dead gifted to me and all I'm wanting is specs good enough to play that, didn't realize this would be so hard and wind up costing so much.

if the power supply will cost me more but you guys can pretty much guarantee it'll run for me give it to me. also if i sound clueless it's cause i am, barely knew what a power supply was before today.A power supply is usually something you shouldn't skimp on. Buying a cheap power supply is likely to fry, and take out a more expensive part with it. You should look for well known brands such as antec, ocz, thermaltake, or the similar.

I've had a cooler master before and here's one near your price range:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171031. They're usually pretty dependable from what I understand/experienced.

For a little above your price range you could pick one of these up:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010 I personally haven't heard to many negative things about them.

To make a LONG story short, read the reviews on the power supplies, if you've never heard of the brand, stay away. I'd trust a 300 watt antec over a 750 watt logisys product.hm, I'll look into both, probably buy either of those tomorrow.

If anyone has any other SUGGESTIONS please let me know, thanks.
