I am in need of a new psu. Currently I have an Nvidia 460 gtx. I will probably upgrade that within a year or two (probably not going to end up doing SLI). What psu brand should i get and how many watts. The Antec HCG-620M and Corsair 650HX look decent but I am not sure. Thanks for any help.

Edit: Oh and I would like modular.

This PSU gets my vote at the moment due to the tremendous value - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

650w is enough power to run ANY single-GPU card on the market at the moment along with an OC'd CPU. Considering this PSU is 80+ GOLD certified and FULLY modular at the cost of $109.99, it's a GREAT deal.

Ok thanks looks like a good choice. Another question, if I were to decide to SLI two cards such as the 660s would I want a 750w?

No, the GTX660's are very power efficient so this 650w unit would work fine

GTX660 Ti's would also be possible with this PSU as well. You would need to get some adapters for your 6-pin PCI-E connectors, however, it's still possible as they're very power efficient cards.
