Either my graphics card or my power supply is failing.

R Soul, get a name brand PSU. Such as Antec, PC Power & Cooling, OCZ or Corsair. At least 2 to 4 SATA connectors, 2 to 4 Molex Connectors or more depending on your current system and possible future upgrades. Also, 2 PCI-E connectors. Most PSUs come with 1 PCI-E but 2 PCI-E connections is better for that future upgrade. :)

500Watts to 650Watts should do it. Take note of the +12V line for that power hungry video card. Modular PSUs cost more $$$ than non modular PSUs. Its a feature hardware enthusiasts love for proper airflow and cooling within the case.

Stay far away from the cheap power supplies.

I appreciate the advice so far.

If you post your specs / configuration then I'm sure that someone here can give you more specific advice.

That info was posted above ((http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1855650#post1855650))

I found (http://www.advancetec.co.uk/acatalog/Corsair_PSU_550W_VX550W_ATX12V_v22_5_year_manufacturers_warranty.html) this, which is from a place not too far from me, but I have nothing against the Corsair HX520W :angel:
