No doubt the OCZ StealthXStream is king of 500 Watts. But if you can't keep up with the electric bills get teh corsair 450 Watts.

Ocz 500sxs

Just bought the cheapo.. OCZ 500SXS runs stable at 1.3 v, fluctuates lightly at 1.35 v and fluctuates wildly with at least 3 votages at or above 1.45 v. I havent been able to get my e8400 stable at 4250 and i think its due to the cheap psu.

Anyway, for 4 ghz its ok and pretty much quiet.
