Hi all.
I recently upgraded my computer, and I'm worried - and also quite certain - that my current PSU isn't going to hold out for much longer. I am located in Australia, and I am looking for someone with more experience to suggest to me a power supply that is rated for about 500 watts. The PC itself is consuming about 350 watts at full load.
I'm looking for the best PSU I can get for about $65AUD. I don't mind buying off Ebay. America-based websites such as Amazon and Newegg are out of the question.

Please don't tell me to pay extra for the PSU because it can damage the whole system if it goes; I am well aware. I know what I'm doing when it comes to computers, but I need help from people who have more experience with knowing which PSU brands to trust and which not to trust - while not being overly paranoid.

Thanks!

Your exact power requirement is about 355watts (recommended). So a 500w power supply would be sufficient enough to power up your pc

You can check your power requirements here (however I am telling you by checking here already)

Intel DH55HC motherboard.
Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.2GHz.
8GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz.
500GB Seagate 7.2k RPM HDD.
300GB Raptor 10k RPM HDD.
Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 670 2GB.
DVD R/W drive.

I'd like to upgrade from my pitiful 400w Powerman PSU before upgrading anything else.

Thank you for linking that product, as I did not know of the site's existence. Price does not include shipping, but I have asked, as it seems like a very good power supply.

Yes, I did state already that the system draws about 350 watts under full load, that I am looking for a 500 watt power supply, and it is currently being powered by a 400 watt power supply. Thank you.
