To run a 3600+ with a 6600GT. Not looking for a high $$ PSU.

Something like a Earthwatts 380W would be fine.

What??? Did you read the OP's request? :confused:
That's way overkill and also counts as a 'high dollar' PSU. If he must go with Corsair, the 450VX would be plenty: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003
Personally, I think something like this 400w Silverstone would be ideal. $35 after rebate, too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256032

Yeah i read it.I dont consider Hx520 high dollar.And overkill is good when it comes psu's.I was gonna say the 450 watt but for a few more bucks its worth it to go with the 520. JMO

If you don't need a lot of amperage, I'm quite pleased with my little Thermaltake TR2 430. Nary a voltage bump or dip since I got it in August. It's got a single, 18A +12v rail. Here's the product page (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Power/tr2power/w006970/w006970.asp) and here's the Newegg link (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023). $39.95 and sleeved cabling makes for a nice, clean install (http://www.myalbumbank.com/albums/userpics/10080/AfterBT.jpg).

Thanks for the info guys. Reason I wanted a non high $$ PSU is because it's for my dad...who isn't a gamer just a net surfer.
