I have tried a couple but the eVGA website says that you need a 450 W PSU for the GT..I have seen other SLI setups with less than 450W...

What would you all suggest for a PSU and Wattage?
 
you won't need any thing about 480watts... the PSU you have there is fine...get the 480 true power if you want.

500w seasonic is nice as well..but the higher end of your price range.

I was thinking this PSU:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931

It is SLI-Certified and I hear good things about Antec...this would be an ideal price for a certified psu on a budget machine right?
Click to expand...

Are you planning on going SLI? At any rate that PSU would be fine, as would the Seasonic S12 500 or 600, Fortron BlueStorm maybe, NeoPower maybe, or the Enermax 535w for that setup(as would others but my preferences are for good quality units that are conservative in proportion to the setup for headroom in the future). And I would pass on the second one you posted.
