This will be powering a Intel C2Q Q9400 (hopefully with a slight OC) along with a GTX260.
edit: maybe this or this?

Corsair CX400 (better than CX430 V2) for $30:

At NCIX, you need an order above $50 to get free shipping though. Maybe you can grab something else while you're at it?

Or if just newegg, try the Rosewill Green Series 430W for $40 shipped after promo code:

I can vouch for the Rosewill one. My 630W has been running my overclocked 1055T, overclocked GPU, and 2 closed loop systems for some time now. Folding on the machine too.

Though I think I got my 630W one for $40 as well. Might have been a shell shocker deal though.

I need a PSU with two PCI-E connectors, what a shame frown.gif I was really digging that CX400 on NCIX.
I guess more watts are needed? Lol. I'll strive for 500ish I guess. Any recommendations then?

OP updated, added the Fortress line from Rosewill, the Tesla R2 and Newton R3 lines from Fractal Design, a few new products from Silverstone, PCP&C, EVGA, Corsair, Cooler Master, Seasonic, etc.. added some missing links and a few reviews as well.

Just an interesting fact, when this list was started; the 750w+ market had so few units in it, that those categories could have been condensed down to 4-5 units for the most part.
