Best you can buy in that range is the FSP400-60GLN. I just got one for my GF's xmas upgrade of an Opteron 175 (dual core 1MB 2.2GHz), 1x1GB muskin redline, and Sapphire GTO2 on a Epox 9NPA+ Ultra.

It's quite the sophisticated PSU and is great for Lanparty type of people because its a lion in sheepskin. That is, if someone with just enough but not enough knowledge of PSUs looked at it, they would balk because it's lightweight and doesn't look that heavy duty with the cover off.

Did a little search on Newegg, and guess you've found the one with the most bang for buck value... Fortron PSU's are really good also...

Delivers 36A spread over two rails, that's quite nice! My PSU powers a system that's more or less the same, and delivers "only" 30A on those rails.*



* Damn, I wish they sold those in Belgium! :|
