Default Urgent: New PSU

My PSU crapped itself. It is being RMAed and I will be getting a new one. However, I have wanted to upgrade my PSU for sometime now, so I am just going to sell the new one from Antec.

So, I have been looking for a new PSU. I am trying to keep it under $80. These are what I have been looking at:

Sunbeam NUUO

and

SilverStone SST-ST500EF

The NUUO looks better in everything but efficiency.

What do you guys think?

Ok well in that case then yes the Sunbeam Nuuo will be your best bet.

I was going to suggest this but is a little overkill. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002

I'm a silverstone user and love mine. The newer series has been reworked to fix any bugs they had in the older ones. In comparing the 2...the sunbeam has a little better specs for 10 bucks less. It's a close call as I feel both would be fine for you. Personally...I would get the silverstone(fanboyism ) but the sunbeam looks to be the "slightly" better deal of the 2.

Ordered the NUUO from ZZF. I am on a sort of boycott of Newegg.com for their high prices on C2D products.
