Need a new powersupply

[Citrono]

I'm looking to a buy a new PSU but I wanted to get some opinions on which one I should choose. I want to spend between $50-90 before tax/shipping. I'm looking at the OCZ Modstream 450W and Enermax Noisetaker 420W. I do overclock so I want to make sure it's stable

Current Specs:

AMD 2500+ @ 3200+
ASUS A7N8X
1GB (2x512) OCZ Platinum Edition EL PC3200 (2-3-2-5)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
40GB WD 8mb buffer 7200RPM (adding another HD soon)
Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS
52x32x52 CDRW (adding a DVD Burner or DVD Rom)
Aspire Case w/6 fans ( http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-034&depa=1 )

I'd get that one.
Good PSU for the price.
Near inaudible slot loader fan with a power strip on the back.

OCZ between those two.

I'd go for neither of those PSU's. I'd go far an FSP-550. It's waaaayyy stronger than either listed, and it's future-proofed, already being ATX-GES compliant. It can be found around the web for just about 90 bucks before shipping. I have seen a few on Ebay for 60 bucks after shipping.

When you read the specs, be aware that the rating is not PEAK, but SUSTAINED MAXIMUM, and not at 25C like most other companies, but at 50C ambient temperatures. They are all pre-burned in at 50C., and tested to deliver no less than the rating with ALL rails loaded at the same time. That means that the PSU never puts out less than 550 watts total at any time, under any load.

Yeah, those Sparkle Fortron relabels are great.
