You'll want a minimum of 400W, an Antec truepower or something should do nicely, or you can choose a FPS/sparkle one, they seem pretty solid too.

Will that be adaquate enough for a 7600GT?LOL..........Should I get up the money to get one?May have to go with a 7300GT

lets just say that nvidia reccommends a 400W PSU for a 7900 card, so it will be more than adequate for a 7600/7300. If you are that tight for cash, you could get the 7600GT and say a 350W PSU (dont know if that works out similar price or not), but if you are gaming I would really reccommend the 7600 (even GS) over the 7300 if you can somehow stretch to that much.

Did your relative not end up giving you that seasonic PSU?

My favorite PS of all time is the Silverstone Strider 400. It was $45(on sale) and is beautifully made (very high quality inside)

I had 4 HDDs and 2 7600GS vidreo cards and never had a problem
