Best PSU under $100 for GTX 480

[the_v1s1onary]

Hello,

I'm having trouble figuring out the best PSU I can get for my build which includes the infamous GTX 480. I prefer Nvidia drivers and wish to stay within a certain budget/performance ratio, so I will not likely deviate from that GPU. Therefore I would like to know what PSU would be best for managing it.

Corsair TX650W.

there are several

Seasonic s12ii 620w 87 + fs bronze
Antec HCG 620w 90 +3 -15% off coupon bronze
Enermax NAXN82+ 50w 90 + 6 bronze
Seasonic M12ii 620w 90$ bronze
Corsair TX650v2 90 -10$ coupon -20 MIR bronze
PCP&C MKIII 600 90 -15% bronze
Rosewill 650w Capstone 100$ -15% gold

and if you want to magically have a platinum certification as a choice

Antec Earthwatts Platinum 650w 120 -15% off -20$ MIR


you can look at some of the reviews for each power supply Here

A forum I read recommended at least a 750w PSU, but it seemed like pure speculation. Even so would a Corsair TX650W have enough power to spare, or should I spring for the 750W?

750w is way to much for a single card. even dual gpu cards(590/690/6990) dont use up 750w

If you had to pick one, which one would you pick?

all of the ones i labeled are good units, it wouldnt matter which one you picked. if you have a brand preference, this is where you can apply it.

Ok, thanks! I went with the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2. It was $60 after Mail-in Rebates in case anyone is wondering.
