i need a new psu but i'm not sure which one i should get. i've heard raves about pc power and cooling so i was thinking i could get a silencer from them. or maybe an antec true430. any psu you guys would recommend? i am willing to spend up to 70, but i prefer 50 or so. i know the psu is very important but i would like to save on some cash as well. then there's even the allied that has good reviews and two led fans for only 30 bucks.

sry for the broad question. any help would be great. :)

The Enermax 350: 26a/12v ($59 NE) or 460: 33a/12v ($75NE) will give you the best bang for the buck.

I vote for the pc power and cooling silencer 360 or 410, 65.00 and 85.00. They have active pfc and a three year warranty.

Those are a little light in the amphres on the rails. 360 = 26-30-21 410 = 28-32-23. The Enermax's: 350 = 32-32-26 460 =35-35-33. Hard to beat Enermax specs.

The Enermax 460 looks good, high amps on all rails. Will consider using on my next build.

I like that 350 myself, but then I've always been a small block type of guy. Nothin' wrong w/the big blocks, thou.
