PSU for an r9 380 + Fx-8320

[LukeA7]

My friend is building a new system, he needs a power supply for an r9 380 and and fx 8320. He doesn't plan to oveclock at all.

His budget is only £30, so I was wondering if he could get a decent enough power supply for that amount. If not, how much extra would he be looking at?

Thank you in advance!

Uh, £30 is pretty low for a decent PSU. He should be budgeting £50 - £60 imo to get something worthwhile. The PSU isn't something you should skimp on- a cheap unit could kill the whole system if it fails.

Had a look on Ebuyer, this would probably do the job:

I wouldn't go less than that to be honest.

I would go with something along these lines if on a super tight budget, he just needs to spend 5£ more http://m.newegg.ca/Product/index?itemnumber=17-182-304

The above my first post is right though I wouldn't want to spend only 30£ on a psu
