I'm currently running:
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Intel duo 2 core E6400 2.13ghz overclocked to 3.0ghz at 1.400FSB
Zalmon 9500A HS
4x1gb corsair ddr2 800mhz ram
Sapphire ATI HD5770 gpu
300gb seagate

I currently have a 420w raidmax "http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156137&cm_re=raidmx_420w-_-11-156-137-_-Product" psu and it looks like sometimes it's not giving me enough juice to play my Modern Warfare 2. In CPUID Hardware Monitor, the +12v gets as low as 11.7v and I'll get glitches here and there. Sometimes my system will reboot on it's own. So I'm looking for a good quality PSU but not really looking to spend the bucks. Something under $70 but around $50. Been looking at some Rosewill, OCZ, Raidmax but don't know which one would be the best for me. Here are some that I was just looking at:

Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product

So let me know what you think? Thanks

Of the two you mentioned, definitely the OCZ.

A third possibility:

A little more expensive but a much better power supply.
