I guess I can throw the Rosewill in there and see if it runs.

I just want to make sure that I don't go too cheap on the PSU, I had a PSU die once and it fried the motherboard. But that was a no-name came with the case power supply, not sure how Rosewill stands up for reliability.

For $40 I should probably just buy the Fortron. I just used that one in another build and it was really nice.

Actually the Rosewill PSU was bought in dec of 05, so it's almost 2 years old. Should I replace? I know nothing about PSUs

Any ideas on a decent cheap video card?
