My old PSU is not working well, so now I want to upgrade to a new power supply that can support my i7 core processor with Radeon 6000 series graphics card. Since I am on a low budget, I am still looking for a power supply that is reliable. So I am looking for a quite PSU, something like the Antec HCG-620M or the OCZ ModXStream 700w Pro. Both of this power supply are modular and not very costly like the Corsair ones. So, can anyone tell me which among this 2 should I buy? Thanks.
The Antec HCG-620M 620W power supply has the perfect combination of power and efficiency. Antec High Current Gamer features special High Current connectors for heavy load and cabling that supply extreme levels of power and superb efficiency, thanks to 80 PLUS Bronze certification and Active PFC use. The connectors are of the highest quality, brand by Japanese, capacitors and fans of 135 mm double ball bearing are also very quiet. The HCG-5620M is characterized by a high capacity management cables with 10-pin modular connectors. If you are looking for massive power, High Current engineering and extreme efficiency, then this is the PSU for you.

I am using OCZ ModXStream 700w Pro that combines low power, high efficiency and optimized performance. It is able to deliver the power you need while ensuring a quiet environment. I have used the ModXStream for the last 6 months and it worked very well. The price is also not so high and you are paying for a quality psu as well. The ModXStream is an excellent power supply with more wattage than I could ever need running a radeon 6870, Phenom II X4, 2x120mm fans and a HDD and a SSD.
