...there are some case modders that are what I call eliteist. So whenever a 
more powerfull PSU comes on the market they feel the need to get it. You 
could probably pick up a decent PSU from eBay that would do for what you 
want. You can often find Sparkle, Enermax or Antec and other decent makes on 
there at a good price.
  I don't know what your budget is but I found this that I woud say is a 
good PSU for the price;
