I'm set on these parts for my rig. Ive researched and looked up on all the parts and I think they will suit all my needs function wise, style wise all the components are red/black and they are very good value. I could go cheaper with some parts but I don't think it's wise just to save £5 or £10.

Fx 8320e
MSI 970 Gaming
HyperX-Savage 2x4gb
MSI R9 280
Hyper FuryX 120gb ssd

Only trouble is i can't decide on a PSU. this build won't use more than 410w , that's without any OCing. but having room in the future to OC safely and add newer parts that could potentially be more power hungry.

I have one in mind, it's the Antec Edge 650w.

It is modular, gold standard efficiency, ball bearing fan and it has solid build quality, it's based on a seasonal design. It looks nice and as an added bonus it comes with red sleeves for the ends. I can get it for £69 new.

Are their any other modular PSU's that are similar but cheaper?

Also any recommendations regarding aftermarket CPU Air Coolers?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Thanks
That list is very useful, i think i will have to save that.
Yeah, checked the list. The Antec Edge 650w is a tier 2, so no issues at all. I just dont want to ceap out on a PSU, I almost brought a Corsair 80+ bronze 50w for around £50, thankgod i didnt. they are not very good.
Im about to order the PSU, £69 is too good to pass especially since its a one time offer.
