EVGA Announces the 700B Power Supply
EVGA announced the 700B, an entry-level 700W power supply for gaming PC builds on a shoestring budget. This unit covers the bare essentials, with 700W continuous power, fixed cabling, 80 Plus Bronze efficiency, and enough connectors for a build with either two mid-range graphics cards, or one high-end card. Under the hood, the unit features a single +12V rail design, with a single 56A rail, and most common electric protection features, against over/under-voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit protection. Connectors include two 6+2 pin PCIe, a 4+4 pin EPS, 24-pin ATX, nine SATA, three Molex, and one Berg. Backed by a 3-year warranty, the 700B is priced at US $49.99.

Last week I bought a refurbished EVGA 500W PSU (W1-0500-KR) for only $29.99 ($39.99 regular price @ Newegg).
430W model even includes a $15 mail-in rebate, which probably makes it the cheapest 80+ certified entry-level PSU.
I am not sure why it is called an "entry level" power supply (maybe due to single 12V rail design), but this is one heck of a product!
Definitely worth every penny.
I always find it worrying when a 700W+ unit only comes with two 6/8pins.
