Hey everyone!

I messed up and bought a cheap power supply when I built my new machine. Needless to say, several months later the thing decided it would commit suicide. Thankfully my motherboard has an integrated surge protector so it didn't take anything else with it, so all I need to replace is the PSU.

So now I'm looking for a decent power supply, preferably hybrid (or fully, if I can get a good one!) modular PSU for my rig. I was also wondering what wattage I needed, because I'm not sure the old one was correct.

Here's some info about the machine:

Asus P8Z77-V motherboard
Intel i5 3570k with stock cooler
Corsair vengeance 16gb 1600mhz dual-channel RAM
Gigabyte Radeon 7950 3gb GPU
1tb Seagate HDD
The case is an Aerocool xpredator x1.

Nothing is overclocked.

Ideally, I'd want to spend less than £60 but I can go as high as 90 for the right one.
 


Thanks for quick reply!

Those two look solid. I haven't had much (any) experience with either of those two brands, so I'm having trouble deciding between them. They're similarly priced on Scan. So which would you pick?
 
Go for the cheaper one both are reliable and will serve you well.:)
