I need to know how large of a PSU I should get for my rig:
FX 9590 (possible overclock)
R7 270X
Asus M5a97 R 2.0
Corsair vengeance 8 gb overclocked 2400
Water cooling
Possibly a few fans
Suggestions under $80 are welcome

Unless you've already bought it, I'd strongly suggest not getting the FX-9590. It's massively power consuming and overpriced. It also probably won't work on your motherboard.

I would also not recommend that cpu if you haven't bought it. Defs not worth the money.

It would be better for you to go with an i5-4xxx setup than to go down the FX road.

If you want AMD, go for FX 8320 or 8350 or if you want Intel, go for i5 4670k or i5 4430.
And as for PSU, get any decent branded 600W to 650W PSU.

Water cooler: corsair h80
New CPU decision: FX 8350 I do plan to overclock

I don't think the h80 is a good choice, you should probably just go with a nice noctua air cooler, it will more than likely perform better for you on the 8350 than the h80

Agreed on that. Most CLLCs are overpriced, loud, and perform worse than a good air cooler.

I'd consider getting an i5-4670K instead, though.

I will go air cooling after doing research, but that's not the question. What PSU should I use for this config at $80 max?

Well, it depends on what config you are going to settle on, are you seriously going to stick with an FX CPU?

Click on the second link in Someone Somewhere's signature and compare the prices of those listed in the first two - two.b tiers.
