This is a noob question, but are all power supplies more or less the same as long as they use the modern atx motherboard connector? I am building an LGA 1155 computer, and this power supply is on sale for $39 with a promo on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817139019

Will this work?
 
I will be using the 2600 and a 5770 card.
 
Perfect. Thank You.
 
Be careful on which MOBO model you are selecting. Some comes with 4PIN and 8PIN 12V power connector. If you are selecting a board that need the 8PIN power source, then your power supply must have it.

What happened to me then that I was using the old power supply, but it only has 4PIN power source and my BOARD needs 8PIN. I end up having to get another PSU.

consider your future expansion of adding more drives and peripherals and ensure your planned purchase of the PSU has adequate juice.
