I am having issues with my PC now, I think the culprit is my PSU so I need a replacement.

This is my system:

Videocard: Sapphire X1800XT 256MB
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Mainboard: Asus M2N-E AM2 nForce 570 Ultra
Memory: DDR2 800 2x512MB Corsair XMS2
Soundcard: Audigy 2 ZS & Sennheiser HD 212 DJ
PSU: COOLMAX 500W +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A

Soon I will be adding another 2GB of the same memory.
I am thinking about getting these PSU, please tell me what you think of it or if I can get a better deal:

OCZ has gone downhill lately in the PSU department, imo. I'd go with a PC Power and Cooling PSU personally. If you're looking for reliability this is a good bet. Though it's slightly on the larger side. If money is tight Rosewill PSUs such as this one are very well received as well.
 
Corsair or Delta take your pick. Delta are not commercial PSUs and hence a tad hard to find. I would not suggest any other brand except for a similar brand to Delta that I cannot recall of atm (In the same business as Delta i.e. units for OEMS).
 
I prefer seasonic (corsair and some antec models use seasonic) since they are good and quiet. Although for pure performance I would pick PC power and cooling.
 
Bump.

PCP&C 610w
OR
Seasonic 550w S12 E+

Only a few quid difference in price. Delivery charges from lambdatek can be ignored as I'm getting other parts from them.

Third choice, not sure how good this specific model is but I've heard Tagan is generally reliable. Tagan Easycon 580w
