Well I'm building a Conro rig so I'm giving this 3800x2 rig to my parents.

I have a little $30 GPU in there right now because they don't play games and this PC plays high def footage great, so it doesn't need anything else.

The Athena 550w PSU I'll put in my new rig since it's been good with a 7800gtx, 7900gtx, and 7950gx2, so it's been good for more than a year with an OCd CPU and GPU. :)

So what's a cheap PSU I can use with this PC? My parents mainly just check email and sometimes we watch videos on the HDTV from it. Thanks! :)

Xclio (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189003) 450 watt psu is pretty good for the money. Heres (http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/cases/Meridian_XClio_450W_1.html) a review of it.
