I was going to suggest either the TX650 or the HX620 (modular) but yup Corsair is a fine choice...

The HX620 would be my recommendation if your budget can cope with it. Modular makes wiring things up a breeze.
I'm using it's Big Brother.. Complete overkill

Yeah, I keep trying to tell people about those thousand watt power supplies...
Unless you're trying to do quad GTX295s and a lawnmower, then you're just throwing your money away.

I knew I didn't need it when I bought it.. I figure it'll likely be the last power supply I ever have to buy.. I THINK I could probably power 3 systems with it... definitely 2.
Though, as near as I can tell, the current power needs for my system put me right in the Sweet spot for maximum efficiency on this PSU.. Almost 91%, at least according to the published efficiency curve

Yeah that should be fine... Though you could get the 650TX for $94... $79 after rebate.

I recommend either this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009. Corsair is a great brand i have had no troubles with mine.

I currently run the Corsair 650TX($99) and it runs my Q9550 oc'd to 3.6GHz very nicely, along with 4GB RAM, GTX 260 216 vid card, 3 hard drives, and a DVD burner.
I'd say go for the 650TX or higher IMHO. 650 should be more than fine though, I know mine runs like a champ

I'm planning on getting a gtx 260 core 216; and i would want some help in choosing a good reliable budget PSU that can move my card.

Can not really suggest a PSU without knowing the rest of your psecs.
If you are running a dual core system any decent 400W PSU will be more than sufficient for it. QuadCore I would up it to a 500W especially if overclocked.
