Just purchased a new Antec PSU for my new build, but I need to upgrade the PSU in my old machine too. I've heard great reviews from friends. And with boxing day sales, they're pretty cheap. Also, they are rebranded Seasonics.

I was looking at this one in particular, to run the system in my sig. NewEgg calculator gives me more than enough power to play with there. Also, it's apparently rated for 550W continuous at 50 degrees C. Pretty good review from JonnyGuru.

So, what is the general consensus on XFX PSUs in terms of reliability and pricing? Good to power my system?
Thanks,

I have mine and I like it so much I got a modular 750W for another computer.
 
Reliability will be the same as Seasonics. Pricing, they used to be competitive, not so much anymore though. The X-750 for $100 and X-650 for $90 are much more competitive. Not to mention, XFX support tends to suck a lot more than Seasonic.

$40 for that 550w is a pretty good value though.
