Please help me with my PSU

[DEATHREAPER363]

So I was looking at my PC build one day https://pcpartpicker.com/user/gebe/saved/#view=Zn7BD3 and I realized my psu didn't have a price so I looked into it and apparently there are no prices for it so it must be sold out everywhere. This makes me very angry that I can't purchase the one that seemed good so can anybody recommend a different one or a link to a place that sells it? Thank you very much

One is available on Amazon, but just about any 550W PSU should do it. Here's a Seasonic with the same specs.

Newegg lists the Photon-550 as the successor to the Capstone-550. Capstone might not come back in stock. You can check the link in my sig for a list of PSUs organized in tiers by quality. Any good EVGA/Seasonic/XFX should do the trick.

That antec psu seems within price range but it's 520W will that still work with my build?

Yes, 520w is plenty for an i5 with a GTX 960.

So seasonic or the tier 2 antec

The Antec is also made by Seasonic, and the XFX too.

Oh...derp so they both good?

All are good that's why I recommended them. Pick the best deal you can get and if you want modular or not + best warranty.

What exactly does modular mean? Sorry I'm new to this

Basically it means how much you can take the PSU apart. As in, adding the cables you want, removing the ones you don't. It's usually more expensive, but more aesthetically pleasing inside your case.

non-modular = All cables are attched to the PSU and the ones you don't use have to be crammed somewhere out of the way.
semi-modualr = Only the main cables you need are attached and some optional ones are not giving a cleaner look with less clutter.
full-modular = No cables are permanently attached. You use only the ones you need/want. Cleanest look.

I think I will go with the antec psu. Than you guys for the replies
