Specs:
Azza Triton 401 Case
ati 7850/gtx 660
AMD fx-6100 (six-core)
MSI 970a-g43 Mobo
Adata 8gb ram 1600mhz
Disk Drive
2x120mm fans
2 sata hard drives

Currently I have a 500w Ultra lifetime series psu. It is running a xfx 5770 single slot edition. I put the "/" on the video card section because I am still deciding between the two, and based on what I have asked the community I should ditch this psu and get a new one. Many people have said ultra power supplies are crap, I was thinking a 550w-600w. My budget would be under $70 preferably.

Hi - a quality 450w PSU (with min 34 amps on the +12v rail(s)) will run your system with either
of the GPU's you listed. If you want a quality 550w unit anyway, <$70 might be tough.
I'll take a look now & see what I can come up with:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... nets to $60 after mir

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... nets to $71

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... nets to $61

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... nets to $40

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... nets to $66

Any of those linked above will work fine.

If you can stretch to $71, the 2nd one listed is a nice unit for the $$, Seasonic SS550-gold & modular
