I was reading online and started getting worried about what power supply to get in order to not destroy my parts. Anyone have any suggestions? I want to stay fairly cheap, and upgrade to a modular psu later so keep it simple. Thanks!

Hey Superheroguy89,
 
This is a pretty powerful computer. Because of the motherboard and the CPU, I'm assuming you are going to overclock (even though you don't have a aftermarket CPU Cooler).
A good gold-certified 600W PSU can even handle that CU when overclocked with two of those GPUs so you should be pretty safe with one of those. :)

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

switch the gpu to a tri-x 290x (save yourself money and not lose fps)

my psu recommendation is the 650w GS
