GTX 280 Power Supply?

I am looking for a PSU to power a GTX 280 for less than $100... is this possible lol? I would find one myself but I do not know the ins and outs of PSU cables, except that my current one does not have the correct cables. So, anyone care to reccommend one? GTX 280 Power Supply?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006$100 with a $20 rebate. Never skimp on the power supply. It's one of the most importaint parts of your computer and is usually overlooked. GTX 280 Power Supply?
Ok, so that has all of the correct connections and such?
A friend just said this   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817101029 would work, is he correct?
Would it work, probably, but I am not sure I would risk it. I am not sure of the build quality of ePower, never even heard of them actually.



Get the Corsair linked, or another quality unit over that ePower. The Corsair 650w would be enough and a little cheaper even. Hell, I feel confident the Corsair 450w would run that fine.
GTX 280 requires minimum 550W PSU... Just so you know found out the specs on newegg.com Found a good corsair 650w PSU for $99 on newegg (my 2nd link)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130368http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
If you het 700watts you will be playing it safe!
No no no guys, you misunderstand... I know that I would want at least a 750+ watt to play it safe, im just wondering what connections the PSU would need.

Your system + GTX280 should peak at 300w.

So a good 450w or more is recommended. With 750w should be enough for 2 GTX280's in SLI.
Ok, but does this PSU   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817101029  Have the correct cables to hook up a GTX 280?:roll:
