A BFG 550watt PSU went bad in one of my rigs. I am upgrading it to a larger PSU. 750-900watts 80%+ efficiency x4+ PCI-e 6+2 5+yw. My budget is no more than $110.

If you can spare another $30: SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

You might be getting a good deal, considering the MSRP is $190 and Newegg is selling it for $140.

I am going to up my budget to $160 max for a better overall PSU and possibly a longer warranty. Six+ PCIe 6+2 connections for PSUs running 850watts+ please. I hate when they have oddball configurations. :? Thank you for your nice suggestion! It is my list to choose from. :)

I bought a PPCMK2S750 PSU owned by OCZ. Hopefully the company does not let me down. It was $80 after rebate and came with a seven year manufacture warranty. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided a 750watt PSU would be sufficient for that rig. Thank you gentlemen for your help! It was greatly appreciated.
