I have almost created my new build with the below components:

• RAMPAGE IV GENE: Asus ROG, X79, DDR3-1866, 2xSATA3, USB 3.0, GBLAN, mATX
• Intel Core i7-3820, 3.6 GHz, 10MB, LGA2011, BOX
• DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Red 16GB (2x8GB) 1866MHz CL10 1.5V

I think that “CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply”. I have been using CORSAIR psu from a long time and It has never let me down, I have been overclockign my system with a CORSAIR 550 watt psu, since you are having a GeForce GTX 680 2 gb I think you should better go for a 750W one.

I have recently bought “NZXT HALE90 80 Plus Gold 750 Watt Power Supply with Modular Cable HALE90-750-M (White) “from amazon, it is costly than the ones that have been mentioned here but it is quite worth, You can get it for $137.

It has a single +12V rail for maintaining the stability and High quality Capacitors for lasting longer. It is said to be Ideal for latest DX11 GPUs.

I think the best option will be “CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX750 (CMPSU-750AX) 750W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply” I think it is costliest amongst all but it is worth. It supports latest ATX12V v2.31 and EPS12V v2.92 standard and is also backward compatible with ATX12V v2.2 and ATX12V v2.01 system. It is an 80 PLUS Gold certified power supply for providing better efficiency and reducing electricity bill. it has an ultra-quiet 120mm San Ace fan from Sanyo Denki with a 4 x 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors.
