antecs (True Control 550) and fortrons (350w and assorted 530/550w) are good choices, and most of them are under $150. and next time, try the search button! it's very useful

If u got 275, try pc power and cooling. they are expensive but they are the best..

Enermax is not the best brand to go for - crummy value for money IMO, since their PSUs have decreasing wattage for increased temperature starting AT 25C!
for <275 I'd recommend PC power and cooling also - tight line regulation and bags of power.

If you want the best then PC Power and Cooling is about as good as it gets...1% line regulation...Antec TruePowers 3%...Most other manufacturers 5%...The 530 watt Fortron for 75.00 delivered from newegg is easily the best bang for buck power supply on the planet...As a matter of fact PC Power and Cooling use Fortron/Sparkles that they modify to meet their specs for some models...
i don't say enermax is best, but for around 80 bucks you got a psu wich has enough power for most of the systems today. i think there is absolutly no need to buy a psu for 200-300$, i have a p4 at 3.5ghz, ati 9800, audigy2, two sata drives, dvd-rom and a dvd-r and my old 350w enermax supplies more than enough power for my system
Putting in my vote for the PC Power and Cooling Turbocool 510. The just released a deluxe model of their Turbocool 510 that has sleeving on all the cables, has 11 molex and 2 serial ata power adapters compared to just 8 molex on the regular 510, has voltage adjustment and an on/off switch which the regular 510 lacked. I have heard people have been quoted 249-269 on it and right now it is the best PSU on the market if you have the money.

He asked which is the best, Its funny as I just replaced my Enermax EG465AX-VE (W) FCA to a PC Power and Cooloing 425 and there is no comparison. I gave away my first PC Power and Cooling PSU to a buddy and this was a BIG mistake, so I bought another one.
+5V @ 40A
+12V @ 20A
-5V @ 0.3A
-12V @ 1A
+3.3V @ 40A
+5VSB @ 2A
+5 & +3.3<300W

Enermax is no good IMO. For OC'ing their rails are weak and their regulation is the worst. For an excellent cheap PSU look at Fortron or Sparkle, both made by Fortron.unreal said:

I hope that that PCP&C works out for you. For those of you who don't have the money, I would reccomend a Forton/Sparkle, or an Antec. Both of them are reliable and very good PSU's for little money.
