Me be here againe 
First of all, let me clear that this topic is an anticipation of me. I'm still not sure what really happened.
Some days ago, I was using my PC as usual, and it suddenly died, and then when I tried to re-start it all I'd get was a flashing power button LED, but no boot at all, not even the processor's fan would start spinning.
Today my uncle and I checked the power supply (OCZ StealthXStream 600 real watts), and checked the fuse hoping it was dead due to an electrical overload, but it was still fully functional... Someone told me it might that the PSU just died, and that it's possible that the PSU dies even though its fuse is intact.
That guy is coming tomorrow to test my PC with another PSU to see if the PC still works, hopefully it will.
Now, pre-assuming that it's just a PSU death issue, and that nothing else got burnt, what brand / model of PSU do you recommend to me? I know Corsair ones are very good but they're very expensive for me right now, so that one won't work. My budget for it is between 50 and 80 USD, any advice highly appreciated. 600W+, if possible.
Thanks mens.
