Default Need Budget PSU

I've got an old computer that is still running strong for over 5 years 24h/24;

Motherboard: Asus P5ld2
CPU: P4 3.2ghz
RAM: 4gb DDR2 533mhz
6 HDD, 300GB to 1TB
GPU: Asus GeForce 9600GSO (bought like 6-8 month ago)
PSU: 420W Thermaltake

However, I think the psu is about to die... When the computer is idle/load,the psu does the most noise out of my thermaltake viking. I experienced slowdown in video and game when playing for long time. Is the psu working too hard? Is the videocard not getting enough juice?

What would you recommand to replace it ? Is it possible to get one arround 50$?
