How is the Corsair CX series? I'm thinking of possibly going for a 750M. It's cheaper than the HX series. Will it be good for a 660, 660 ti, and 670?
Thanks!
edit: Also, what are some good, but cheaper, motherboards that have WiFi built in? So far I'm only aware of the ASUS Z77 boards (I think it's the PRO and up), but not sure what else. I really like the ASRock Extreme4 motherboard; SLI-ready for the future, 4 3.0 and 6.0 Gbps ports, and all that jazz. But, no WiFi.

For Corsair, CX is their lowest series. It should NOT be used for overclocking or if you have a budget above $700. Their TXM series is the best because the PSU's are completely modular, and usually run about $100 for a TX750M. That would be under normal circumstances, but luckily for you, there is a SeaSonic PSU on sale. SeaSonic makes most of Corsair's PSU's, as well as XFX and one other brand that I cannot remember right now. Check it out here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151121 SeaSonic is THE best brand for power supplies, bar none. I own the 660X and 760X, and they come with ten year warranties :D As far as Wifi goes, you shouldn't really factor that into the motherboard. Just go with an internet PCI wireless card or an external USB dongle. The speeds will be roughly the same.

I thought the TXM series was only semi-modular? And people seem to be ripping the quality on new egg as well :/ I'll look into the Seasonic more. I'm most likely going to get the GeForce 660 with a i5-3470, no overclocking at all, and want to leave room to SLI in the future, so that's why I'm aiming toward a 700W-ish PSU. If I didn't want to SLI, I figure 650W would be enough.

Trust me, SLI isn't worth it at all unless you're doing it when you build your system. When a new series comes out, you're better off just buying a new card for the same price.

IIRC, SeaSonic also makes PSUs for OCZ and Antec.
