You don't necessarily require a 650W PSU for this project. A 500W quality unit will suffice. However, if you wish to include most GPUs, a 650W model is adequate.
That SeaSonic at $60 offers a great value.
I chose the 650W since it matches the cost of the 550W.

Here is the 550W:

is there a more affordable option that still offers high quality?
Can I choose another version, such as the 650w s12g model? If it's from Seasonic, then yes. It's a reliable device but uses an older design.
