Determining PSU compatibility

Hey all,

Not very knowledgable on the hardware side of things. I'm looking to buy a 500W PSU but I need to make sure it's compatible with my current setup, of course. I have my old PSU here for referrence so if anybody could guide me to what information I need to find the right type I would be very grateful. The only thing I know is that it's a "Standard" PSU apparently.

Thanks

I'm confused...

You already have a 500watt PSU, but you want to buy another that will work?

Your mobo is nothing special to be concerned with. And new decent PSU will be compatable with it and older. $40USD is not worth buying.

IE: a cheap 500watt PSU will cause more problems than a good 350watt. I spend $60USD on 350~380watt and $70~80 for 430~450watt PSU.

Look at antec, enermax, thermaltake...
