alternative PSU

Hey,

My 2 year old hardwareversand has a Corsair VX550W 550 Watt power supply and it's in a boot cycle and I'm pretty sure it's the PSU fault as I've tried everything. Problem is, I can't seem to find that exact PSU anymore.

Anyone have any ideas what I could use as a similiar replacement? If i get an Antec one with the same Wattage will it work just as good?

spend as little as possible because i'm not even sure the PSU is definitely the problem. i'm not planning to buy with hardwareversand, just any place that has cheap PSUs. thanks for the links

MASSIVE BUMP

Still havn't got around to this

Still not sure if it's the power supply and I can see myself buying a €150 PSU for it still not to work. So I was planning on buying this really cheap one, just to get the PC booting again:

It's 650W and pretty sure it would work with my old compnents:

Would really appreciate someone more knowledgeable than me having a quick glance at that cheap PSU and seeing if it will work once. I understand a cheap PSU can be disastrous but if this works and I actually boot into Windows, I'll be ordering a more expensive one straight way.
