Welcome back. The Corsair TX line are good quality and if you catch them on sale at Newegg, with free shipping and/or mail-in rebates, the price is reasonable. But, "reasonable" is subjective. It all depends on what you are willing to spend.

| Re: bang for buck psu I bought an OCZ 500w modular w/$20 rebate for $39 but I don't game and don't have a need for more power req. I am running an Ep45-ud3p with a single sata drive and 1 dvd burner and a E8400 with 4MB of ram and it's fine.

| Re: bang for buck psu If you list your components in detail, it's easier to estimate what you're going to need powerwise. Though the calculator suggested by PeterT might give you a ballpark figure.
