See that 220 watt isn't too terrible. Not when compared to the OP's 500 watt pile of garbage. I have seen decent low wattage PSU's from non name brands like that. 

Do you even fanboy bro?

Heres a pretty cheap SeaSonic 300w with bronze certification. I'd highly recommend them, great build quality.

does this work for a gtx 580?

One of the most common mistakes people make is going over in watts, a gtx 580 shouldn't use much power at all, i don't know your full build but i'd probably stay in 500w range.

So sorry about that, I saw 300w in the picture for some reason, if thats the wattage that came originally, then most likely i'd stay in the 500w range and get something like this:

"decent" or at least, not a fire hazard. I can't say how long it'll last or that it's the best. But it won't burn your house down. Doesn't mean i'd keep it for a while. 

Do you even fanboy bro?
