I would recommend this.

For your sig. it will handle what you have just fine, and the corsair power supplies are very very good. Unless you want to run a quad core and 2 9800 gx2's, that will do fine.

Well sometimes stuff works perfectly for some and unfortunately not for all.

It looks very appealing though, but I rather get the Corsair 750TX. But that would go over your budget.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9006&Tpk=750tx

There's a nice rebate deal for it now. or you can go with the 650tx as suggested above.

I noticed that too but a lot of those low scores are people complaining about stupid stuff. But after reading most of the reviews I would agree. For that price there are some better choices although less wattage.

Check this one!

And this one!

And this one!

Not so good reviews on the Egg but it would be fine for your system. This one would be better for the same price! It also has good reviews! Just my opinion!!
