Hello,

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum2.php?config=tomshardwareus.inc&cat=31&post=376243&page=1&p=1&sondage=0&owntopic=1&trash=0&trash_post=0&print=0&numreponse=0&quote_only=0&new=0&nojs=0

The build in this thread is what I am currently working on, but the PSU that was recommended is now out of stock. Could anybody suggest a different PSU around the same budget (~$60)?

Thanks in advance.
