The fan on my PSU has gone and my PC is not always starting up at first press of the button, plus there is a worrying smell coming out it so i do believe it is time for new PSU!

The PSU i have now came with the case:

Antec Sonata II Piano Black Quiet Case - 450W Smart Power PSU

Here are my other components:

OcUK GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI
Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103UJ)

I am assuming that even though the PSU came with the case I am going to be able to whip it out now problems, so what I am looking for is a recommendation as to what I should replace it with. I don't want to spend more than I need to, but I don't mind paying for decent components.

Any suggestions?

Wow that does looks like a nice offer, thanks for the tip.

Do I need 650W?

Also, are they noisy?

I think I am going to go for the 450W.

Will it definitely fit in my case? I am guessing these things are a standard size but just thought i'd check.

Thanks for all the help guys.
