After 4.5 years my power supply fried. Advice?

Thanks for the advice. I went with the Seasonic 620 Watt power supply you recommended StrangleHold. I had the power supply shipped 4 to 6 days to save money. I did not want to pay extra for faster shipping. I will report back once I install the power supply. Hopefully my motherboard or video card did not get fried.
 
I installed the new power supply. I ran Memtest86+ version 2.01 for ten hours on my computer. It completed 11 tests with no errors. It appears my system is fully functional.

The best thing is there is a five year warranty on the Seasonic power supply I bought. I do not think I will buy another OCZ power supply because they only have a three year warranty on their units.
 
I'd spend a little more ($20 more after a rebate) and get a Silver/Gold rated PSU with a higher wattage: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256087

It's a brand new unit and for $20-$30 more there's not much you can ask for. It met Gold standard but all units are a little different and they bumped it down to silver; it still achieves gold rating on 230VAC though (which is why I'm going to buy one)


EDIT: I see you already got it :o Seasonic are very good on warranty, yes.

Not a good deal at all. For the same money you can get a Seasonic X650W gold with more wattage and amps with free shipping.

Before buying a new PSU I would wait for Intel to revise their list of Haswell compatible PSU's.

Many of Corsair / Seasonic etc units do not support features of the newer cpu's. the OEM's will be brining out new lines to fix this.

This way when you want to upgrade further down the line you will not need to replace your PSU again.

This is only applicable to certain halt states I believe, if you don't enable them you will not have any issues
