What is the best 450 watt power supply in the $20-$50 price range?

I just upgraded to a galaxy geforce gt220 video card and need to get 450 watts of power. What is the best option? I'm using it more then anything for audio video editing.|||All of the $25–50 offerings at Newegg are 500+ watts:

Not familiar with any of them, and have only heard of a few of the brands (Rosewill, BFG), so I'd check out those with at least 100 ratings in the four "egg" range.|||There are hundreds of power supplies in that power range and price range. Pick one.|||Well newegg.com only has PSU from 550W and up ...try...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||BFG GS-550. It's OK to be a little larger than you need. The power supply will only supply whatever power is necessary. So a 550W power supply won't consume more (wall outlet) electricity than a 450W power supply...unless the system draws close to 500W or more...but in that case a 450W power supply wouldn't work anyway.
