I'm trying to go as cheap as I can without endangering my hardware or adversely affecting the G3258's OC ability. Anyone have any experience with the basic EVGA 500W?

JonnyGuru did a review of it (the only one I've found) and he said it was quite good for a budget unit. Just wondered how it would do with a G3258 OC'd to 4.5 Ghz and a GTX 960. I would rather spend $39.99 instead of $70-80 for a higher quality unit. The whole point of a G3258 build should be to keep it as cheap as possible and still maximize OCing. Thanks.

I went for a pair of the EVGA 500 B Bronze PSUs, for my G3258 rigs. I picked them up for ~$35 ea at Newegg, no rebate.
