Yeah. Just go to newegg and buy yourself a nice 500 to 650 watt PSU (i have to add the fact thay i absolutely love those initials). I cant really help you when finding one because all of my PSUs went kaput after a year. If that. All i can tell you is that antec and rosewill(?) are garbage if they only last that long.

I took a gander for you and I managed to find one that seems to be the perfect match as it is only $85 dollars today. Its called the "CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply." It has gotten nothing but 5-star reviews out of 515 people. Its also got a $70 rebate on it if you ever manage to finish the rebate card.

I went with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006 when I built my system. It's definitely overkill but gives me plenty of headroom for expansion. I've had zero problems with it and I definitely recommend this PSU. The only downside to this PSU is that it is NOT modular. Meaning there will be a lot of cables coming out of it that you don't need. If you have a case designed for great cable management like mine it wont be a problem.
