If you like Antec, the HCG620 is more than enough.

750w is an overkill, you don't need more than 550w.

I've had bad experiences with Antec PSUs before, hence I only use and recommend Corsair, XFX and SeaSonic PSUs.

*Corsair & XFX PSUs are made by SeaSonic

under 150$ would be ideal

Seasonic makes exactly 3 power supplies for Corsair. They make all XFX units. Antec has many more Seasonic made models than Cosair does and their main OEM is Delta and I would rather have a Delta in most cases over CWT who is Corsair's main OEM. CWT is using cheap Samxon caps even in the TX series now. It used to be just the CX series.
