As you all know black friday is around the corner and I need a new power supply
Any recomendations for 650 watt's that's all I need with good cooling that is worth the money so I would really appreciate it
Budget is 0-90$ at least

Why would buying a Transformer help him? All they would do is go out and fight the other transformers in epic battles.

I got a good 650w modular for like 60$
I'll give ya a link to it. But ye you in the wrong place. lol
-
I got the OCZ Modstream, but you could go for a seasonic or corsair or soemthing

I have the Corsair TX650, which is serving my quite well. It will limit you in the GPU department though, there are only two 6 +2 PCI-E connectors on it.

A computer Power Supply generally has a transformer in it, depending on the design.
So just buying a transformer would not work out well for you since the voltage would still swing from +12V to -12V. This would cause your computer to release all of its magic smoke.
You also need a rectifier to convert the AC signal into a DC signal as shown below
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Fullwave.rectifier.en.svg/760px-Fullwave.rectifier.en.svg.png)
But notice how the signal still has valleys in it. If you hooked this up to your computer, it would still explode, or at least reboot 120 times a second.
Then you add capacitors, inductors and other items to "smooth" out the signal.
However, computer power-supplies are generally Switching Power supplies, which allows them to be up to 90% efficient. If they instead were a linear power supply as a was showing above you would struggle to get 30% efficiency.
As for a Computer power-supply that is ~650W and ~$90 I would recommend either:
