Hello guys.
The other day the almost-generic PSU on my father's PC died, so we need to buy a new PSU, and this time it's gonna be a good one.
The PC has a Phenom II x4 955 BE, an ATI 5770, 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (on two sticks), a couple of HDDs, a CD/DVD drive and three chasis fans. I believe 500W will be enough, am I right?
What I'm not sure is how much amperage I'm gonna need.
I live in Argentina and here not only prices are higher but also there's not much variety. I've seen the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus series available almost everywhere here, how are they? I always wanted a Corsair PSU but the lower wattage I can get here is the GS600 which is probably overkill, but are the Gaming Series good?
The system is not overclocked (I know, Black Edition and no overclocking...), so what PSU would you recommend? As I said, prices are quite higher here so I'd like a not very costly option.
