Im looking for a PSU and Im on a budjet. Money is real tight but my 350w antec is not cutting it. Whats a good 650w quality PSU at a cheap price?

My Setup

Asus StrikerExtreme (POS)
Intel Q6600
2gb Kingston HyperX PC2-8500
EVGA 8800gts 640mb SSC
350w PSU (very unstable overclocks I think due to this)

If you want to stay with Antec, then Newegg has the 650 watt version on sale right now for $64.99 but the user comments are not as good as they should be:

If you can afford to spend $99.00, then you could get a very good Corsair 650 watt psu that is on sale. It comes with a $20.00 mail in rebate which would eventually bring the price down to $79.99 and 3 day shipping is free:

Other good brands to check: PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, and ThermalTake.

good and cheap?

Those two words don't go together very well.

Get the EA 650w Earthwatts Antec. At $65 no rebate to screw with and free shipping it's a great deal.
