http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s... , Likely the best unit in your price range. Seasonic is a very respectable brand in PSUs. It's gold rating and comes with a 7 year warranty.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-hx... - Also a nice unit for a few bucks less and has similar specs.

Both are full modular which is awesome.

PSUs are something you never want to cheap out on.. Pay more and be protected.

Thermaltake is decent. But honestly, like i said you need to go with reliable brands. Both Corsair and Seasonic are well known and trusted in PSUs. I wouldn't recommend buying anything else. I've build many rigs and always used Corsair/seasonic and never had any issues!

Choose what you want. Just my opinion.

Seasonic also makes XFX psu-s and they are a bit cheaper than seasonic :) ... also Rosewills capstone 750w psu turned out to be really good quality as well

Well I can't decide between a seasonic or evga. Is a 650w good enough for my build? Or will I need more, because I've seen some cheap seasonics.
