...I turned my PC on this morning, got about 5 seconds into boot, powered down for no reason and then a massive pop from my 480w Tagan PSU (which is out of warranty before you ask), a bit of smoke and a really unpleasant smell. Then the thing proceeded to turn itself ON again- I'm not sure how that's even possible at this point- and needless to say I was quick to the wall socket to cut the power to prevent it taking my whole system with it (assuming it hasn't already).
Anyway, I obviously need a new PSU, I was thinking this:

but was wondering if anyone had any better options at this price point, I really can't afford to go over and I think a 600w is a good idea seeing as it gives me a bit of headroom for future additions.
Any input on this PSU itself would be much appreciated, really need to get this ordered by tomorrow am though.
Cheers,
