After spending a couple days looking around, I found two different PSUs I would be happy with. The first one is: Antec TruePower Classic series TP-650C 650W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply from Newegg.ca. The Second one is: Antec EarthWatts Platinum Series EA-650 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible. My motherboard uses a 1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector, and a 1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector. I was planning on 600W-650W. I was leaning to the Antec EarthWatts, but it uses 4 +12V Rail instead of 8. What do you guys think?

Before anybody can give you a thumbs up on a PSU choice, we would need to know what CPU, GPU and motherboard you have. Model numbers would be what we're looking for. Case model wouldn't hurt either.

They are both very good power supplies. I would get the platinum. What is the price difference?

The price is about $20 difference. The paragraph is a mess because I was using the "Ask The Community" boxes. I had trouble finding where to ask the community using larger word boxes, where I can preview the question.

Particularly if you need Haswell support, then get the platinum. Plus the platinum series usually has the best overall performance (and efficiency).

The posts I've removed from this thread were unnecessary criticisms of the OP's text.

Please always try to remember not everyone has English as a first language and even if they have, they may not consider it necessary to split paragraphs into smaller ones.
