Even though Nvidia recommends a 500W powersupply, Do I really need it?
I've currently got a AMD FX 8320 which draws a lot of power, but not overclocked. So will I really need 500W? When the ASUS version only need 1 8-pin instead of 2 8-pins?

Rosewil was an "eh" brand for the longest time.... jonnyguru seems t0 like the Tachyon and Capstone models. The Capstone isn't quite as good as the B2 but not like the Rosewill's of old that we sneered at.

Rosewill in there PSU's are Meh there decent, not the best. You really shouldn't cheap out on the PSU... Its the heart of the pc.. You said anything lower than 80 bucks.. thats 75
You really should spend the little more for the EVGA PSU, You'll be glad in the end...
Remember, the cheapest is the most expensive..

I wouldn't trust the arc, made by ATNG who is questionable quality wise. $60 will get you a Seasonic made 550w XFX.

But even $75 is a good price for that 750w EVGA B2, im not a MIR fan either.

The EVGA 750 B2 is an extraordinary price for a decent PSU.... not quite a G2 or P2 but for $50 a steal. The Rosewill Capstone's are pretty decent.... dunno nuttin' about the Arc
The one you picked also has a $20 rebate. I do a lotta PC builds every year ... usually with 2 - 4 rebates per build and I have never "not gotten" my rebate.

The $50 is mail and rebate. I've never actually received any of those mail in rebates so would this power supply also be good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I made this to make it easier on myself and others as this gets asked a lot.
