Power Supply From Best Buy?

DarthJake

So I'm in need of a power supply for this build (http://pcpartpicker.com/list/hJhzYr). (Also, I do intend to get the GTX 1060 for my graphics card)

I also have $75 worth of gift cards for best buy.  I also know that putting a bad power supply in your rig can be fatal (sometimes).

And still again I know that I have no idea what defines a good power supply. (the one in my build was recommended to me from someone on the forum)  So I would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice.

 

I was looking at this PSU (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/thermaltake-smart-series-650w-bronze-power-supply-black/8733872.p?id=1219365660388&skuId=8733872)

but again, I have no darn clue when it comes to PSUs.  I would really really like to be able to just use the gift cards but I would still add some extra $ to to use with the gift cards if there is nothing that best buy has for under $75 that will work well.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

P.S. Some advice on my build would also be appreciated.

I was just at Best Buy and should have seen what they have...

 

Nonetheless, check out the PSU whitelist in my sig. The Smart series isn't that great.

The good power supplies at Best Buy are usually online and overpriced...

This EVGA G2 850W is 134 dollars...

Best Buy price matches but I don't think that would get it down to OP's budget.

 

@DarthJakeSince Best Buy price matches look around there for a bit, write down or take pictures of the PSUs they have there and look up price match-able items and what PSUs are good and you should be golden.
