I have a lower end PC. It's old in hardware standards, but I use it for blogging and programming, so I don't need too much "umf" out of it. My problem is that the 480W PSU that came with my case is just. . . . well, dead. I have an older PSU running right now, but it's almost scarey how hot the air coming out of this thing is. I could burn myself lol.

I'm looking to buy a new PSU, something that's not expensive, but will run newer hardware when I buy upgrades next year. (my absolute highest amount is $75 shipped). I was looking around the forums and I saw this was suggested:

Any thoughts?
 
How hot is the CPU heatsink? If that's generating the heat, replacing the PSU won't help; you'll just cook the new one. Figure out what's making the heat and fix that as well as replacing the PSU.
