Antec.
I'm going to be able to list power supplies at some point in the future, but I won't be able to list any that are in this poll in the foreseeable future, so I'm going to close this down. Keep on voting for other products, and I'll do my best to get you what you're after!
People should consider the oems of the psus and which models the psus are rebrands of, before voting. I know that the Cooler Master V850 is a Seasonic model, while the NZXT Hale90 is manufactured by FSP.

The Hale82s are FSP, Hale90 is a Seasonic KM3 rebrand.
I wouldn't vote for Raidmax power supplies. Only PSU brands people should vote for on there are Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA, Antec, and Cooler Master. There's an EggXpert thread listing out PSUs based by reliability tier.

From what I've read, Corsair has shoddy units in the lower half of their lineup - their good quality stuff is HX, GS, and AX above 700W. Enermax, Rosewill, and FSP are all trustworthy brands. And apparently Super Flower is making something of a comeback.

FSP Makes some terrible PSUs, save for their okay Aurum Series. Corsair GS was also really bad, and Enermax units are mediocre/overpriced except for their high-end stuff. Most of the Superflower made units from Rosewill are great (Hive, Capstone, Tachyon), especially for the price, but they (rosewill) also sell some cheap units.
A word on wattage requirements: almost no modern systems need more than 650 watts, even more so if it is 80+ silver rated or above. Typically your average gaming rig is only going to use around 400-450 watts max, and it helps to buy a PSU with plenty of "breathing room" persay when it comes to the maximum wattage.
If you are overclocking and are running a single GPU system with 8+ GBs of memory and a decent CPU, then 750 watts 80+ bronze+ is the absolute maximum you will need. You only need 800-1000 watts if you plan on using more than one video card or a ton of hard drives/optical drives. Buying a 1000 watt power supply when you are not building an enthusiast PC is a huge waste of money. Also, the quality of a PSU is determined by the quality of the parts used and its efficiency rating (80 plus rating), not by it's maximum wattage. Don't vote based on the maximum wattage like it is an indicator of quality.
For this reason I have submitted an EVGA 650 watt 80 plus gold PSU.

Mining rigs/farms tend to need high capacity power supplies, unless perhaps they're centered around the 750 Ti.
Aside from that, is there a target wattage range for this poll? Different kinds of builds—work station, HTPC, gaming (high- and low-end), mining, etc.—have different power supply needs.

The NEX650 is a terrible PSU, not to mention your logic is messed up. A quality 550w will run any single GPU system, even OCed (not overvolting the GPU). 650w for 2 OCed GPUs.
