Which power supply?

I have no idea how to pick a good power supply. I don't know if brand is really an issue and how many watts is enough. Here's my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/34jPwP. I'm not going to be really upgrading after I build it.

Any suggestions for a good power supply for my situation would be greatly appreciated     (preferably not over like $90)

Why the EVGA NEX? They have bad capacitors, the build quality is low and the voltage regulation is even worse.

I dont see anything bad about

A decent 550w would be plenty but the 750B2 is priced pretty low right now: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

Eh, not a great value. NEX is based on an FSP Aurum, iirc which is vastly inferior to the same-price Seasonic(GS)/Super Flower(B2, G2)/FSP Aurum PT (GQ). That's why the NEX isn't recommended. it won't blow up your system but it's stupid to buy one when the other units cost the same amount of money.

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