Hello, I am looking for a quality PSU (preferably Seasonic or xfx) to go with my build. I need at least 650w. 80+ Bronze or Gold.

My budget is $79-99, and I can only shop on Newegg (giftcard)

Thank you, I wanted the 650w xfx but it appears to be sold out >.<

Thank you for the reply, those are some good options. I am strongly considering the EVGA, but I just have heard such great things about Seasonic. What are some ways to distinguish how good a PSU is? I used to think modular/non modular and 80+ ratings were all that mattered, but apparently some CPU's have different amperage, actual wattage output etc., how could a n00b like myself know the difference?

I just read another post where you stated the B2 was the best one on the market... I just redeemed a $59 gift card that I originally wanted to get on Newegg, but now it's too late -.-

I'm gonna have to go with the XFX PRO750W -- should this suffice? Not being modular I feel might be annoying. I see jonnyguru rated the B2 higher...
