Opinions on this PSU please...

I am purchasing a XFX 7800GT an I need to get a new PSU to run it. I have a P4 3.0ghz w/ HT and 1GB Ram. Not running anything out of the ordinary. I believe I need an ATX type, but unsure. My system is a Gateway. Let me know what you think of this one. It had dual +12. As I am blowing a lot of the 7800GT I was looking for a PSU for about $50 or under if possible. Look at both and let me know. I only chose Rosewill as they had very good reviews by users. I do not know much about the brand though. Is there any specific wiring or anything that I need to look for in a PSU to power the 7800GT?

450 Watt

500 Watt

If not either of these, which would you suggest which also is reasonably priced?

IMHO, the PSU is a vastly underrated piece of the computer...
If it were me, I would spend the extra $50 and get a positively top notch PSU like the Seasonic S12...JMHO

Ohh is it, LOL. I did see that one but only heard of the brand a couple of times. I do see why its the better deal, dual +12v at 18, oh my!!!! When I was looking I kept finding the ones with the nice flashy LED lights which I definately do not need. Thanks for the suggestion. I can see why its the better bargain.

Yep, you had listed the 400W version which would be more than enough for his system. But for an extra $10, its not too much to upgrade to a 450W.
