Suggestion for a PSU for my build

Hi guys,

I'm building a PC with the following configuration:

Intel i5-2500k 3.4 GHz CPU
ASRock P67Pro3 Motherboard
2 x 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drives on RAID 0
1 x internal blu-ray drive
1 x internal DVD-R/+RW drive
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Case
8 GB DDR3 RAM
GeForce 460 GTX 768 MB Video Card

I tried the power calculation tools online estimating that my consumption will be around 500-600 W. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a reliable, not too pricey powersupply in the range of $50-$60?

I was eye-ing an ULTRA 650LSP but I am told that it is not that great by some folks. I would appreciate any alternate suggestions.

Thanks so much!
 
Corsair, Seasonic, and XFX are probably the top three PSU brands available, plus some of the Antec Earthwatts units as well.

Here's the PSU reviews at JonnyGuru.com...they're the best in the biz at evaluating power supply units:

For your build, you shouldn't need 650 watts, but IMO, it's better to have a bit more than you need, just in case you want to overclock or add a second video card.
 
Any quality 500w unit will be fine. Stick to the corsair, seasonic, or Antec and you will end up with a quality unit. The neo eco mentioned is a great unit.
