Looking for a replacement PSU

[k3a2e1]

My previous PSU was an Antec Earthwatts 650w 80plus bronze which ignited itself in the middle of the night after 15 months of use. Needless to say, waking up to a room filled with silicon smoke and a small fire was not fun - not to mention the crappy lingering smell and the risk of burning down my house.

So, any suggestions for a new non-traumatizing PSU would be much appreciated! =)

What I'm looking for:
1. Priority: Extremely-low-likelihood-of-fire - I'd much rather have a PSU that simply blows out than the scenario I already experienced.
2. Power efficiency of an 80 plus
3. How much noise it makes
4. 500w+ (I think anything 500w+ should sufficient for my rig)

Cost range ~$100 give or take $25

My specs:
i5-2500k
Geforce gtx560ti
2x 8g corsair ram
2x Case Fans

It's odd, that psu shouldn't catch fire, it's not the best psus models around but it's has the protections needed to avoid that, and it's a decent one.
This one will do and it's a high quality psu : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119
There's also this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182263
It's a super flower unit, it's a high quality psu.

Thanks, I'll definitely check them out.

As for the psu...yeah it was odd considering it wasn't exactly that cheap and it was Antec. If you read some of the 1 star reviews, it seems like I wasn't the only one with that issue though: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044
Even though it might just be that this particular product defects like that, it makes me kind of wary of Antec PSU's.

Antec psus are good ones, the antec earthwatts 650 green was made by delta, which is a good company, it can deliver the full power and in this review it seems a good psu : http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/antec-earthwatts-ea-650w-review-green-2011/5/

But i'm not aware of the fire hazard of it.
