I own all the components for my PC except a PSU. I’m puzzled about why PSU prices vary so much. I believe the thermaltake GX2 660w is suitable, but I’m also unsure why my calculated wattage is only 300 watts. Is this typical? My budget is between $60 and $70, and I don’t plan to upgrade any parts soon.

Power sources work best when they're used at about half capacity; aim for a power output roughly double what you currently use.
Based on today's pricing, the unit looks sufficient for the components you've chosen.
