Hi I'm looking at the PSU linked above. I can get it for $41.00 from now till 6/23 because it is on sale/mail in rebate/ promo code from pc partpicker. The problem is I don't know if its good or not as it does not have any reviews. Do any of you know? Also if its not good do you have a good 650 watt PSU that is under $60 you could link? Here is what it will be powering: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LhMK23
I plan to OC and get another 760 for SLI in the future. Also as I will be ordering these parts over a period of time ( presumably 3 months ) is there anyway to check if they're DOA as most of them only have a 30 day return policy. If this PSU is good I'll be ordering it first so if I can check the other parts through that please tell how as I've never built a PC before.
EDIT: I don't care if its modular, semimodular, or nonmodular

I don't think you'll get ANY good powersupply under 60 dollars, your better off going with a decent quality mainstream unit for like 120 or so if you can get a-Seasonic G-650 80Plus Gold 650W that is a good powersupply and should be in your price range (I cant check newegg I cant get into the US sect without clearing my cache... which I don't want to do)

Hmm, but I need a 650 watt PSU if I can't get anything good for $60 how about $70. As original post said I am looking to SLI in the future. If there are none I'll just stick to a 450/500 watt for now and buy a new one in the future. Would prefer not to do as the previous PSU would be worthless.

For a pair of 760s you're going to need about a 700, 500 is about the entry level for a 760 and the rest of your rig

Ok how about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Newegg has a promotion going on and I can get it for $50. I can SLI with this, yes?
Also it says it only has 1 12 rail is that enough. I don't really know anything about PSUs so I don't understand the specs. Will this one be able to SLI?

There are very good Rosewills (Capstone, Lightning, Tachyon all Super Flowers, which are rock-solid), but there's little information yet on the Arc, so I wouldn't buy it. Their cheaper Rosewills are a mixed bag of manufacturers, so I'd stay away from this one until some proper reviews are out. There are too many good power supplies that *have* been tested to roll the dice.

Ok, I'm kinda confused now though :/  had another thread on my whole build and was provided a PSU tier list and apparently the Thermaltake I linked you guys is t5. The list is from end of 2013 though. Did the PSUs get better from then? Here's the list http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...
However I did find 2 XFX PSUs that fit my budget. Your thoughts on these?

I'll get the Thermaltake though if its good. But if you could share your thoughts on these/ if they are better I'd appreciate it :)

That psu list is out of date on some parts, but for the most part it's ok.

Older TR2 units were the ones that were tier 5.
