Looking for a new budget PSU

[woahwoahwilly]

I'm wanting to replace my 6-year-old Rocketfish 500W PSU (80+ certified), and it's pretty mediocre compared to today's power supplies, but I don't know what to get. I want one that is at least 500W, is 80+ certified or better, and maybe fully modular. That said my budget is 50 US dollars.
