Hey, i've been looking at building a computer with these parts, and was hoping to find a good power supply for 200$ or less. here it is:

EVGA Nforce 790i SLI mobo
Intel Q9450 Quad-core
4gb OCZ pc12800 ddr3 ram
2x EVGA 9600GT video cards
2x 500gb seagate barracuda 32 mb cache hdd's in raid
At least 3-4 case fans


I was looking at the OCZ Modstream 780w, i THINK it should be able to handle it. But maybe i''ll be better off with something around 1000w? I just liked the fact that this PSU was modular, and was a decent price at 160 canadian.

What do you all think?
 
I wouldn't use an OCZ if its based on the notorious FSP Epsilon, so double check on that.

For what you listed, the Corsair TX 750W will do fine. Its $150 at buy.com with a $35MIR. If you want modular, look into a Tt Toughpower instead.
 
Yah, the 620W would work, too, and it is modular. Though, its the same price as the TX 750W (both have rebates), so I think the 750W is a better deal, imo.
