New PSU needed

[xxHAPPYxx]

Hey guys,

Recently my xfx 650w died after 10 months of usage, I'm working on getting it refunded as they no longer make the model. Now however I need a new psu. My basic system specs are an i5 4460, an msi gtx 970 and a Gigabyte GA-H97M-HD3 motherboard.(I didn't need a 650w in the first place but for some reason it was cheaper than the 550w so I bought it). My budget is a comfortable £65 with maybe a little room for extra. I need atleast 500w and it must be modular, I have a micro-atx case and don't want clutter. My cpu power needs an 8pin connector and the gtx 970 needs a 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. Also the quieter the better.My preferred site is amazon uk.

Thank you

Thank you, looks good just 2 questions.

1) is it atx form factor?
2) does it have an 8 pin cpu power as I can't see that in the image

I suggest the Antec 650w. It a bit higher priced but one of the most reliable PSU's on the market.

Lol ofcourse. Yes to both. Most power supplies on the market are ATX and come with 8-pin CPU power especially. No point in selling a power supply that doesn't have CPU power pins.

Is it? Not the best you can get for the price really. It's not a bit higher priced, It's two times as expensive pretty much.

Lol ofcourse. Yes to both. Most power supplies on the market are ATX and come with 8-pin CPU power especially. No point in selling a power supply that doesn't have CPU power pins. Its able to output upwards of 795W by reviews.

Na most 650W cost between $70~90 plus its one of only 2 brands that output way more power than rated. You must be comparing it to a 500~550W. Its capable of output around 795W.
