The kicker here is... I need something to power all this.

I had been considering the Corsair 650TX, but after a bit of consideration am wondering whether I really need a full 600~ watts. The other PSU I have had my eye on is this OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V which seems to have gotten good acclaim from reviewers and is also a fair bit less pricey than the 650TX.

However this is my first build and I really have no idea. If someone can help me out on this one I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

HX650 for SLI support.

 

[nmis]

I won't be needing SLI and I can't see myself caring much whether it's modular or not, but thanks anyway.

Any more suggestions?

TX650, XFX 650, Cooler Master Silent pro 600w

That XFX unit is more powerful and is about the same as the OCZ unit after rebate its MIR, the OCZ beats its end price with its MIR but a solid 650W modular unit for $60 is still a damn good deal, its made by seasonic and is a solid unit, XFX units have been coming with surprisingly good deals lately.

 

[Mr Pizza]

I would never buy an XFX PSU they look sooo ugly.. but they are great on the inside!

 

[nmis]

That's good pricing, thanks for calling that to my attention.

Is the general consensus that it would be better to get a 650W unit then? I'm still not sure I would need that much power now or in the near future.

This looks like a good brand and it is well priced :

[nmis]

850 is probably overkill. I had totally forgotten about Seasonic PSUs though so that's another brand I have to look through.

 

[abswindows7]

Still the price you will find a 650-750 $ power supply and this one is gold scertified, well branded and extra power for the future.

Yeah, if you don't mind dealing with a rebate, then this 650w XFX PSU is a good deal. It is manufactured by Seasonic and is more than enough to power your system.

If you don't want to deal with a rebate (for fear of not receiving it), then consider the Seasonic 520W PSU for $60 + $10 for shipping. It is still more than enough for your system.
