Which PSU?

After recommending various PSUs to people, I have read many reviews for most of the good PSUs around! However I just cannot decide what to buy. My XFX 850W Black is in need of an RMA so I need something soon while that is sent away [as I'm off to Uni in a few days I need to buy one today really].

I only run an i5 2500K and a GTX460, and I'm unlikely to SLI so 400/500W should be plenty. Which of these would you choose!? I can't go higher than £65 but I'm tight on money so the cheaper the better really.

Modular is a must and I must say I like the idea of the OCZ ZT as they are fully modular despite the price. Options:

Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 500W
Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W
OCZ ZT 550W
PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 500W

Which would you guys choose personally?

I think I would go with the Cooler Master 600W. It is a good price for a modular 600W unit and it gets a good write-up from jonnyguru.

Cheers, it does seem to be a very positive review!

Only reason is their modular units are out of my price range, and I like a tidy case
