Manufacturer= Foxconn

Motherboard = MCP73M01H1

Processor = Intel dual core Pentium E2200 (C) 2.2 GHz (65W)

Current psu = 250W

Current video card = NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i

Looking for a better psu so I may buy a new video card... Any suggestions? just bought the computer so i want to make sure nothing fries.

Looking to use geforce 8500 or higher...

If you are going to upgrade to an 8500, then you need to be in the 550 watt power supply range to do a good job. If you are going that direction, you might want to just move on up (not much price difference) to a 650 watt supply to allow for some future upgrades.

Here is a list of great power supplies:

Seasonic – Any Model
Corsair – Any Model
PC Power & Cooling – Any Model
Thermaltake – “Toughpower” Series Only
Coolermaster – “Real Power Pro” Series Only
Silverstone – Any Model
