Best 500W PSU

[Copilot]

I am looking at buying a new PSU, I don't need the power but I would like to have it anyway.

I am going to be buying this from ncix on monday and I just need a good quality 500W psu, currently I have a sparkle 400W and its pretty bad.

I don't really want to spend more than $70-$80 on the PSU but I am sure for that price there are a lot of options.

I bought an ePOWER ZU-550W from Newegg about 8 months ago. It is still working strong and have had no problems with it so far. I think it ran me about $65 bucks back than.

Thanks, looks like a great deal. I am also looking to upgrade my video card to a 8800GT, does this have the proper connections for the heatsink/fan on the card? I am also running 4 fans using molex connectors.

It has the connectors to run a GTX 280.

Nevermind about it being out of stock, they have 4 of them in stock, I doubt there are going to be 3 other people ordering this item before me.

Antec Neo series is not bad. Buy.com has good prices on these. Even the 650 watt is within your budget.......
