So last march my old power supply in my old computer died so I think it's time to get a replacement.
Here's what I've figured I need in my new power supply:
My power supply that died was like 300 or 350 and my dad said he didn't think that was powerful enough. I looked for my gfx card specs and I can't find a wattage recommendation for it, but I found a very similar card, same chipset and card maker but it uses PCI-E instead of AGP and it's newer. For that it's recommended 350W minimum.
I used newegg's wattage calculator and erred on the side of "more" (they don't even have the cpu in the list, it's too old!). They recommend 388 or more.
With this info I have been looking at newegg power supplies and I need a second opinion.

And lastly, my hardware:
I'm basically looking for confirmations or suggestions on a power supply that would be better. I'd like to place my order today if possible, I need a hew headset because I broke mine.
Here's what I've figured I need in my new power supply:
- 20+4pin connector
- 4 peripheral connectors
- 1 floppy connector (optional, not too sad if I can't get it)
