Looking for a new psu, modular is pref.. I'm still using this old thing.

I plan on buying a new case and mobo soon but I don't wanna use this anymore.
I'm running an Athlon 2 x4 645 with a 250x 2gb but I plan on replacing it early next year.
I fried my 4850 earlier in the year so it was a cheap fix.

I would love some help trying to pick one, my budget is no more then $100 and looking for 500-600w.

Thanks in advance, btw I wanna stay away from corsair just too many horror stories.

EVGA is a very reliable company and actually one of my favorite manufacturers of anything really. I don't know much about their power supplies but the customer service is impeccable. This looks to be under your budget and over your needed wattage in case you change your mind and want to add power sucking components into your rig. And don't worry, the PSU will only distribute as much wattage as the PC needs rather than over charging it.

WOW! That's perfect! 10 year warranty is a plus too. Yeah I plan on slowly upgrading everything, I picked up this pc from a buddy almost 3 years ago for 200 bucks, It runs some older titles I still enjoy but I needs updated, I found a motherboard and a case I like, the mobo still able to run my athlon till I decide to go into the fx route, I'm hoping I can get one on a holiday sale here in a month or two.

Thanks a bunch man!!! I'm for sure gonna order this in the morning!

I don't know about that, I've read alot of issues with seasonics DOA issues lately. I was gonna grab a S2II bronze but I read the reviews on multiple sites and really steered me away.

Yeah I got nothing against seasonic, I've just read to many bad reviews too buy one right now. I'll keep that in mind if I ever need a more expensive psu down the road.
