AnandTech tested 20 power supply units (PSUs) that range from 300 to 400 Watts. The PSUs tested were:

Antec Earthwatts 430W Cooler Master Real Power Pro 360W Cooler Master Real Power Pro 400W Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 390W Corsair CX400W Corsair VX450W Enermax Liberty Eco 400W Enermax Pro82+ 385W FSP OEM 300W FSP Blue Storm II 400W

        HEC HEC-350TE-2WX 350W

                  PC Power & Cooling Silencer 420W










              Silverpower Gorilla 400W









                Seasonic S12II 330W











                  Seasonic SS-400ET 400W

                        Thermaltake TR2 QFan 400W













          "There are power supplies such as the Corsair CX400W that didn't stick out too much during testing but still offer a very attractive price tag. If you do have only around $50 to spend on a power supply we suggest you have a closer look at the Corsair CX400W, or the OCZ ModXStream Pro with 400W if you want cable management. ... 

                  If you want the best performance and the price is a secondary priority, we definitely recommend the Element series from Silverstone. This power supply managed to top both the noise and efficiency charts, and delivered good results across the board
                .
