there you go.....also...yes its a nice psu, just picked one up for the AMD rig in my sig, i have a CM 690 case where the psu is at the bottom and this psu reaches fine all the way to the top of my mobo and the sleeved modular cables are nice.

Also keep an eye out for the VX550 from corsair. Its also a quality psu, but it is nonmodular.

xcilio 500 watt psu is the way to go cheap.

the Stablepowers are good but the Greatpowers are better. Built by same oem mfr. as Antec's True power. Some of Corsair's psu's are made from Seasonic. Anyone one of those are fine. Noone seems to be a fan of Enermax so I won't even suggest it.
