What wattage is it now?
How many Drives do you have connected?

need to try and get some idea or you may not have enough capacity to handle your current specs....

Anything under 20 is most likely gonna be a waste of money..

Under 20 quid you're going to struggle to buy anything reliable and good. Your best bet is to speak to Generation or R00t.

DO NOT buy a cheap power supply
a cheap power supply will not supply anywhere near the power it says it does and could fry your components. [/u]

^^

It's the number one rule when building / replacing a PC. Never skimp on the part that delivers power to all of your other ( presumably really expensive ) components. You're going to replace a PSU that's of no quality with another one. You didn't learn you lesson. Oh well. By the way, a 550w XfX is only a little bit more and will actually last.

The VP-450 should be on your radar.
