My personal "BEST BANG for the BUCK" choices are:

$38: XCilo 450W (Lowend to Midrange)

$52: XClio GoodPower 500W (Midrange)

$80: Antec TruePower Trio 550W (Highend to Midrange SLI/CF)

$103: Antec TruePower Trio 650W (8800GTS SLI)

$149: SilverStone Olympia OP750 750W (8800GTX SLI)

$335: SILVERSTONE Olympia OP1000 1000W (R600 CrossFire)

These are all known good PS's, with many very good reviews, from companies you can trust.

You can spend alot more, but these WILL get the job done, everytime!

These PSU's were/are designed for older systems where the CPU is often powered from the +5V rail.
However these still provide enough +12V amperage to run most of today's lowend to midrange systems.
