Corsair GS 700, cooler master gx 750, if you can get either of these, this will ensure if you upgrade down the road you'll have enough power. They both have strong single 12v rails so you choose from those two which you would want, i'd lean towards the corsair just because of the build quality they have, but not saying coolermaster isn't they are both good psus, it comes down to you;re choice from there.

This is the best value for higher powered units: (I don't know what "region" your in but here's some links anyway) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681718207
otherwise this one is pretty much the standard PSU, good quality, good value: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096
Or the Cooler Master GX is fine, and the Corsair GS is just okay. If you plan to run more than one card in the future, get a 750w, it'll be all the power you need. If you plan to stick to single cards, 550w will do it.

Cooler Master has trashy power supplies.

This is what you want:
SeaSonic M12II 620
+ $15 off w/ promo code EMCXSVP53, ends 5/2

newegg.com only ships in the USA and newegg.ca only ships to canada but does not support .com's rebates....do you think either of those sites ship to his region???

He didn't even say what region he is in. That is a promo code, not a rebate(although it won't work on Canadian site).

Cooler Master GX PSU's are fine, they have more good ones that bad ones actually.

thnx for all the replies my previous PSU was Cooler master extreme 600 WATT ,which served me for 4 years. i have never tried a Corsair PSU so i am thinking to buy it . based on my research the corsair GS series runs cooler as compared to the cooler master GX series. The sea sonic option is not feasible for me because i have to ship it to my region and i cant wait that much time.
