just need a psu thats about 250$

i was thinking either

SilverStone: Decathlon DA650 650W ATX2.0 Power Supply Unit
Thermaltake: Toughpower (W0103) 600W ATX Power Supply Unit
Zalman: ZM850-HP 850W ATX Heatpipe Cooled Power Supply Unit
Antec: NeoPower 650W ATX Power Supply Unit
Silverstone: Strider ST85F 850W ATX Modular Power Supply Unit

Those are all about 250$ or under

Thanks

Here is what XFX recommends for a 9800GX2 PSU:
For a single 9800GX2 500watts with +12v of 40A with a 6pin AND 8pin PCI-e power connector


All of the PSUs you listed would be plenty of power. Of the ones you've listed I like the DA650 and NeoPower 650 best.
