I'm not familiar with Raidmax so I don't know if that's their one good PSU series. I wouldn't get that though.

 

Look into a Seasonic G, Rosewill Capstone, XFX XTR/TS, EVGA G2/P2. Get whichever one of those is cheaper in the 750 or 850w variant. I would get 850w if you plan on doing some high overclocks, 750 will be enough for stock. If you want to overvolt then look into 1000-1200w.

never cheap out on your psu, because if it fails, it shorten the lifetime of your components or even damage them. always go with a solid psu from a trusted brand.

 

this one is quite a bit more expensive, but it is a much safer option.

I would go with the SeaSonic M12II 750 SS-750AM2 750W rather than the Raidmax one:http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107&cm_re=750w-_-17-151-107-_-Product
