Due to the wonders of Canadian retailer price matching, I can potentially get an EA-650 Platinum for ~$90. It'll be used to powered an overclocked 3570k and a GTX 670.
I don't think I can do much better but someone here might surprise me. Only thing I'm worried about is finding places to hide all the fixed cables in a Bitfenix Prodigy case

You can get a Capstone 450M for the same price and it will power that setup without an issue.
It'll also be quieter and built better / use better components. It's a modular unit to boot. The EA650P isn't an awful unit but it doesn't have enough PCIe connectors for it's wattage and it's performance is down right poor vs the competition. The only thing it has going for it is efficiency. |

Unfortunately the modular Capstones are just a tiny bit too long to fit flush in the Prodigy's PSU compartment, 170mm vs 160mm max. I might be able to squeeze in a non-modular Capstone (163mm long) though. Thanks!

All of the Capstones except the 650w are 20% off on Newegg right now.
