My choices are:
Corsair Builder Series CX600 V2


OCZ StealthXStream 2 Ultra-Quiet 600W Power Supply (OCZ600SXS2)


Thermaltake TR2 600W Power Supply (W0388RU)

Antec EA-650 Green EarthWatts 650W Continuous Power Supply

Any of them will work, but i'd stay away from the Thermaltake.

The earthwatts is probably the best one out of the bunch. But either the OCZ or the Corsair will be fine.

Most single GPU systems would be fine with 500W. Since CPUs & GPUs are moving so smaller processes their power consumption is not really going up, so I see no reason to buy an oversized PSU. If you're definitely going to run 2 GPUs, that would be the only reason to buy a bigger PSU. (And more often than not, if not purchased right away the 2nd GPU never ends up being added.)

So if 600 watts is a bit much, then what kind of power supply should i be getting?
