Since I've been unable to fix or even diagnose my PC's problems with sleeping (it fails to sleep and hibernates instead), I'm left with the option of replacing my motherboard or PSU. (People repeatedly suggested those as the two most likely options, but I have been unable to narrow it down)
Since the PSU is cheaper and easier to replace, I'm going with that first. However, I don't want to get the same model of PSU (after all, what if it's a consistent flaw?), so I'm looking for another low wattage, low cost, reasonable quality PSU. I used all my budget building this PC, so I can't afford an expensive replacement.
So far this seems like my best option.

However, I went low-wattage on the PSU in the first place to keep efficiency up (higher percentage load = higher efficiency, so long as it stays within safe limits). 360w was more than enough, my PC should only draw ~100w under load anyway. With efficiency in mind, I'm wary to downgrade to an 80+ Bronze PSU.
Anyone know any good quality power supplies, better than Bronze efficient, less than 400w, for a relatively low cost? It's a narrow market, and I suspect I've already found the only one that fits.
