In need of an SFX Power supply

It's getting to the point where I don't want to press my luck with my power supply. it came with my case, and i've had it running for 5 months, no problems. But it's inefficient. A PFC ~60%, and it's weak, 300w.

From the wall my system pulls around 220w with my OCed 3570k and AMD 7770, so i don't need much more wattage than that, however I want a higher quality power supply. It's a Topower SFX300w.

 

Note, I said SFX, as in SFX12V specification. Regular power supplies are too large. 

Also, my budget is ~$50 if possible. I know the Silverstone 450w 80+ and 80+ Gold Modular power supplies are out there, however they're too rich for my blood.

 

Any suggestions?
