Power Supply

[Nuclear101]

Hi, I recently want to build a gaming computer which uses the following components:
ASUS P8Z68-V LX Intel Z68 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K
Patriot G2 Series 8GB DDR3 (1600 Mhz)
EVGA GTX 560 Ti 1GB ($225)
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Lite-On Internal DVD Writer
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower ,

But I was wondering about the suggested Power Supply:

Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply

Is there any better Power Supplies better than this one for under $100?

Yes there are many inclusive of the corsair above here are 5 more 650watt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%20600014022%20600014085&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=58%7C17-371-044%5E17-371-044-TS%2C17-182-132%5E17-182-132-TS%2C17-194-094%5E17-194-094-TS%2C17-207-014%5E17-207-014-TS%2C17-341-051%5E17-341-051-TS
Your rig would run fine on 550watts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%20600014021%20600014072&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=58%7C17-341-047%5E17-341-047-TS%2C17-207-013%5E17-207-013-TS%2C17-341-050%5E17-341-050-TS

Not a fan of that Ultra LSP650 650W.
If you look at the data label you'll see it has +12V 456W, or 38Amps (456 ÷ 12 = 38)
That's more like a 550W PSU.

Compare that to the XFX Core Edition PRO550W (44A), OCZ ZS Series 550W (38A) or OCZ ZT Series 550W (45A) that Rolli linked.
Plus you get higher efficiency, better quality and a longer warranty.
