Well, my OCZ Powerstream 520 decided it was no longer interested in powering my computer today. I've tried the jumper trick and it just will not power on. So I need to get a new one.

It's been a very long time since I've ventured into the computer market, so I don't know whats the best deal and which brands are most trusted these days. So I need your help.

My system spec are as follows :

E4300@2.8GHZ
MSI P6N SLI
Radeon HD4850
2GB Corsair XMS2
3x Seagate Barracuda HDD's
LiteOn DVDRW Drive
SB Audigy 2 ZS

What would be a good PSU for me? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible while maintaining quality and reliability.
 
The Corsair 400CX would be enough for that setup.
 
If you want more headroom, then get a 500-550W Corsair or Antech Earthwatts/TP New/NeoEco (or Seasonic, PC P&C, etc).
 
I have been a fan of Antec for years now. I've used dozens of them over the years for my builds, friends builds, and customer builds. I've only had one go bad, an Antec True Power Trio 650, and it didn't die, just started to make a loud squealing sound.
I sent it in 2 weeks ago and the replacement came today and they replaced it with a new True Power New 650, has a hybrid modular design. They carry a 5 year warranty too.
