Hello guys, My PSU recently went down, so I was thinking about getting a new & better one within my budget, below are my rigs (it's an obsolete rig   Proc : AMD Phenom X3 8650 Mobo : Gigabyte GA - MA78GM - S2HP RAM : 2 x 2GB DDR2 RAM Graphic : Sapphire HD6670 DDR5 1GB HDD : 1TB Samsung My budget is around RM200 (Maybe I can top-up another RM50 if situation permits) My question is, will a good 500W PSU power up this system efficiently.? Please suggest me a decent PSU with its retail price.

Note taken, thanks.!!!!    One more thing, is it possible that my old PSU was the main culprit when everytime my PC is on heavy load (video editing mainly), it constantly shutting down by itself.? I had what u called a chicken brand PSU rated at 550W at that time, and before it went totally poof, my PC kept restarting every 30 minutes or so.
