I've been planning to upgrade my 5 years old system with a new Mobo and a new CPU, but it was pointed out that my current PSU is... pretty bad. Plus its starting to make noises.

This is current setup:

PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 600W
Case: Thermaltake Dokker
Motherboard: MSI 770-C45
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper TX3
Graphics Card: AMD Sapphire R9 270X Vapor-X OC 2GB GDDR5
RAM:
2x OCZ Special Ops Edition “Black” DDR3 2GB 1600 MHz (OCZ3SOE1600LV4GK - PC3 12800 - 8-8-8@1.65v) (Slot 1 and 3)
1x OCZ Gold Series DDR3 2GB 1600 MHz (OCZ3G1600LV2G - PC3 12800 - 8-8-8@1.65v) (Slot 2)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda, 1TB, 7200 RPM, 64MB Cache, SATA 6.0Gb/s, (ST1000DM003)
DVD Recorder: LG GH22NS40

My budget is from 75 to 100 US$.

Which PSU models / Brands would you recommend?
Btw, I do not need the PSU to be modular. I prefer "cable madness + quality" rather than "decluttered + won't last 3 years".
