Do those have a hundred dollar silent solution?

Yup - get the M12II EVO 620W and enjoy modularity, quality and silence.

imo I would go with the M12II,

 

also, 650 ( or 620 ) is enough, even for a R9 390

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

Forgot to tag you in my above question.

RM series have bad secondary capacitors and they are known to give out more easily - The RMi, HX, HXi are a safer bet but Corsair are overpriced at the moment - the EVGA one you pointed out is quite a bit better

Why do you consider the rm to be inferior? I was mostly driven by the silent fan mode. I am building in a define r5. How does the evga 650 g2 compare?

EVGA G2 is better. RM has a bad reputation due to using subpar caps in the context of being advertised as a high end unit. They're still good psus though.

Either are overkill though. A decent 500w is already more than enough.

Well I was considering upgrading to the 4790k in the future. Would a decent 500w handle that also.

A 4790k with any single GPU would be fine on 500W.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
