I'm looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/evga-80-plus-600w-atx-12v-eps-12v-power-supply-black/8511029.p?id=1219693073473&skuId=8511029

for my build, as it seems my current 500w no-name psu is dying (getting forced reboots under strain)

I'm using
AMD FX-4100
8gb ram
Geforce GTX 660
gigabyte GA-78lmt-s2
2 120mm case fans and a larger one idk the size
and dual monitors

Just wondering if there's any blaring issues with this specific PSU, that my review searches missed, I was looking at the 500W model of the same series on newegg for 45$ but dont want to wait, this one is in stock locally

It will last you the life of your rig more than likely, just don't stress it with another GTX 660.

The Antec would be really pushing my budget, I'll try, i'll have a max of 85-90 total, I wanted some canned air since im going to have to rip the rig apart anyway to rerun wires and all, figured a thorough clean while im in there

I would use it if my rig was the same specs as yours, EVGA power supplies are generally high quality, good warranty and priced right.
I used a Corsair CX 750M in my rig for 2 1/2 years before upgrading to an HX 850, the Corsair CX is bad mouthed all over this board, yet
it folded at home 24/7 on 2 GTX 780ti's and is now my back up power supply.

@Chattahoochee Yeah, I'm not super concerned about it being top of the line, just lasting a couple years without frying out or breaking any other components, as it stands now I can't play most things for more than 30 minutes depending on it's quality, without a force reboot, I get that it's a bad PSU for EVGA, but compared to things like thermaltake or my no-name, it's still superior it seems

Of course now it seems all of these are "not available in store' right away, or their site is having issues, so, that would be an optimal one from newegg or the like for around 60, is that XFX linked the best bet?

I would have to get a new motherboard for that, this one only has the one video card/PCI-E slot, so at that point yeah, I'd need a whole new computer probably then, minus the 660, i'd probably bring that with me to a new one

Picked up the one I linked from Best Buy, appears to be working great, was able to run GTA5 for a good half an hour, and a tv show, and other stuff (yes I was stress-testing) no reboots or crashes, thank you everyone for your input
