psu reccomendation

With the system specs you listed, you hardly need 650W. I am not sure about the PSU you linked. The picture on Microcenter's website shows one without APFC. Yet Kingwins website clearly shows it as an Active PFC unit, probably made by Superflower.

That is a pretty low price for a 650W unit.

If I were you I would stick to more of a known commodity like this

The Superflower pictured on Kingwin's website is probably decent, but the PSU pictured on Microcenter and that low price would make me think twice.

The EA650 has a low +12V capacity for a 650W PSU. The 620W NEO ECO is better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031

I echo this: The NEO ECO 620C has a single 48A +12V rail. The EarthWatts 650, on the other hand, seemingly has three +12V "rails" that are all actually connected to a single common 45A output source. One should NEVER add up the rails in a multi-"rail" PSU. In other words, 22A + 22A + 25A do not add up to 69A; instead, the 45A source is the maximum +12V capacity for that PSU.
 
One last psu for you guys to look at I may not be able to buy a psu online so as far as brick morter stores I don't have many options. All they seem to have is diablotek and cheaper stuff.

compusa has this ultra lsp650 for 59. I know all the stories about failing supplies they have had but since than they switched to andyson for manufacturing these so i'm wondering if anything has improved. I tried a google search but there are no reviews of these psu's manufactured by andyson. Everyone is scared off by the older models made by wintech, yue lin and rsy. I was at compusa got a ul number and verified its made by andyson.

Despite being made by Andyson, some of those Andyson made Ultra PSUs are still pretty crappy. That's one of the crappy Andyson one IIRC.
