You might want to take alook at the Corsair/PC Power Cooling PSU's

This Corsair 550W PSU is only $5.00 more after mail in rebate.

My budget is circa $650
Btw, noob question, what's the difference between a 6 pin PCI-E connector and a 6+2 pin? Or is the 6+2 pin just a 6 pin with an optional 2 extra pin?

Are Corsair rebates reliable?

Yes, the 6+2 can be used on a card with a 6 pin connector or an 8 pin connector.

I have found Corsair rebates to be reliable.

Seasonic is a very good quality psu.
