This is my first build and I was told the PSU is very important. This is an average computer using 160w but I might throw in a gtx750 in the summer. i found a few PSU and I will like to hear some advice or recommendation. Thank you in advance.

Seasonic S12ii 520w - $55.98 OR seasonic s12ii 620w - 59.99

GTX 750 uses only something like 60 watts, it will be fine on a much lower wattage unit. No need for a 500W+. For example: Antec EA-380D $39 AR

Or you can buy a cheapo CX500 for $30 AR. It's not as good quality as the ones you listed but decent enough for a low wattage & low budget PC, and can handle higher wattage cards too.

If you want more room for upgrades and the ability to run a ~200 watt graphics card, while also maintaining very high quality, I'd recommend EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 for $60 AR. It's much better than all of the above, with higher efficiency, fully modular cables, 7 year warranty, top quality voltage regulation, semi passive fan etc.

edit CX500 and 550 G2 no longer on rebate prices, it seems.
