im planning to buy the Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620w PSU

someone told that it is better to buy the silverstone decathlon 650w
but i cannot purchase the decathlon because of my budget.

is my planned corsair enough for the nvidia GF GTX280?

Definitely enough. If you are going to go SLI later I would get the corsair 750 watt psu but if you are only going single gpu the 620 watt is more than enough...

I agree. Great PSU, modular and really quiet.

Sadly, it's the same price as SLI'ing two 8800GTX's a year or so ago. Even though the 280 started at 600-$650
