Hello,

If anyone could recommend a PSU for me, that fits in my case that would be great. Budget is $130 (not including shipping) Preferred brand is Corsair, Seasonic or EVGA.

I was looking at the HX 850 but I don't think it will fit in my case. Case specifications: http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/105-source-210-case

System specs:

Athlon II X2 270 @ 3.8GHz
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 1GB
4GB ADATA @ 1600MHz
Corsair CX430v2 (Current PSU)

It's fine if the wattage is overkill, I'm looking for a high end PSU as I will be doing major upgrades soon.

Thanks,

Eventually I'll be running an 8 core AMD w/ a single 7970, liquid cooling, 3 more drives and more case fans. I not only want a PSU to handle this but also a lot of headroom for Crossfire later.
 
So then, here's what I recommend you : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139029&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=.
But keep in mind that the FX-8320, or FX-8350, will probably bottleneck a Crossfire of 7970.
