Im not trying to OC really.. and even if i was it would only be the cpu and/or video. I know i really need a new psu because mine was like 10bux.
Any ideas for a nice decent one that will be able to support this setup?
A64 3000+ (754)
msi k8t neo-fis2r
2x512 corsair xms 3200
xfx geforce 6800 128mb (agp)
X-fi Elite Pro
120g WD ata100, 40g WD ata100, 160g WD ata100
optorite dd1205 dvd burner
right now my system below is fine and runs really nice. So i know I could probably find a psu that could run this for $60 or less.
I don't know about under $60, but we can get pretty close.... Find something Fortron or sparkle. They give great bang for the buck.
try this. You could probably find it a little cheaper somewhere else.

Newegg has the coolermaster realpower 450 with active pfc on sale for $60.
I just installed one in my roomates computer (similar to yours) after his ttgi fried- it seems quality (keeps voltages rock stable) and has a cool power consumption o-meter :)

Either one of these two work great. I swear these are sleeper PSU's that no one hears about. I have the 450 watter, it's realy stable. 12v rail stays at a steady 12.10-12.22. It has the old rule of thumb, "The heavier, the better." I was expecting it to way like...nothing. It feels more like a brick!

No sense on breaking the bank on a PSU. Get something like this one, and be done with it:
