As nothing remains on the market long before it's replaced, my PS 
from two years ago has been superseded. Mine is a PC Power & Cooling 
Silencer 760W. Were I to get one today I would choose their 950 watt 
version 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703028
The reason I like this PS is it is dead quiet RF-wise & acoustic-wise 
I can't hear it over the fan on the processor. It's a very reliable 
unit and frankly, most any of the ones that get lots of eggs  from 
reviews on Newegg will meet your needs. Amazing that people are still 
selling RF generators as PS. I got burned 4-5 years back and never 
bought a cheap one again.

73,
