550W should be perfectly sufficient.

How about an XFX TS? Or anything from Seasonic? Just not a Corsair CX.

EVGA has some nice ones, too.

Also true, the G2 and GS are great PSUs. The B2 is decent as well.

This is your best bet right now. Semi modular as you wanted, good quality, good price and a leaving much headroom wattage.

Don't you think a 750W is overkill?

At that price? No. There's no such thing as too much watts, the only reason you don't get more powerful PSUs is their price. The more the better basically, you can always get another card in the future for example (not in this case, but in a lot of cases), not like it'll draw more power cause it can.

@Savir please follow your topics :)

CX PSUs, the main issue is their price. They are overpriced, as for another $5 or $10 gets a PSU that will last much longer. The main issue with the CX lineup is that they don't last, many of them die quickly. I know a lot of people still running the CX after 3 years without an issue, but I know people with CX's that have died after 6 months. The capacitors are from Samxon and not Japanese. Voltage regulation and ripple could be improved upon. It only delivers its labelled wattage up to 30C.

I wouldn't recommend EVGA for that kind of PSU. What are your wattage requirements?
