Which power supply work for me?

[StangMan04]

Looking for a modular power supply. I plan to overclock and water cool. Only running a single video card. Below are the CPU and video card being used.

4690k
R9 280 3GB

The video card states 750w minimum but came across a good deal on a Seasonic 660W full modular power supply.

Seasonic 660W Full Modular $70 AR

Seasonic 750W Full Modular $146

$150 seems like ALOT for a power supply. Open to suggestions.

If you read the reviews for the card you can see the total system power consumption for idle, load and overclocked (if shown). In one review a lean system was pulling 360W at the wall with an overclocked 280, another fully loaded system was pulling about 450W. Based on those numbers a high quality 600W - 700W should be more than sufficient. I typically buy more than I need because my power supplies may need to power more in the future.

Here's an option for $80 after rebate:

Thanks for the info. How do EVGA PSUs hold up? I have never had one before.

I've never owned one but they tend to be well regarded. eVGA will certainly stand behind their products.

Oh okay, I have owned a eVGA motherboard and video card and haven't had issues with them but since so many people seem to love Seasonic I was looking in that arena.

I'd just get that 660W Seasonic for 70AR. There's no reason NOT to at that price...

Edit: Looks like it sold out. That was an insane deal for a 660W Seasonic Plat. If you see it again, grab it!

Oh I went ahead and grabbed it. Sorry for not updating the thread.
