Power supply help

Hello, im lookin for a good psu for under 100$ or at least close too. I'd like to start building a new computer soon and though I might start with that first. Ty for your time.

100 is a good price point for an average computer PSU. Before I can recommend one, however, I need to know if you will be running one or two graphics cards in this computer.

I'll say two just in-case I find a good deal on video cards. Prolly only end up using 1 but you never know.

90 after rebate. This is a great deal:
XFX Core Edition PRO750W (P1-750S-NLB9) 750W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

What is it you are wanting to do with your system. 450 to 550w is going to be sufficient for a great number of single card systems. I would figure out all the rest of your components first, then match it with an appropriate psu.

I plan on gettin an ivy bridge when they drop putting in at least a 560 or a 570 video card or better depending on the money i have at the time 16gigs of ram cuz its cheap. I plan on gaming on it.

corsair tx or xfx 650w is enough for your system(560-570).
