You should get a decent 600-650w corsair seriously pay good money for a good psu for a good pc specs link: http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/tx-series-power-supply-units/tx-series-tx650-80-plus-bronze-certified-650-watt-high-performance-power-supply.html

Look for a quality unit around 500W, such as one from XFX, Antec, or FSP. You may need to stretch your budget a little. A PSU is not something to try to get cheap; the long term health and stability of your system are dependent on a quality PSU.

a good 450w+ will do but why not get an amd cpu so you can get a better GPU? here is a setup which will better in gaming and also editing.

a little over budget but you can get a cheaper case, HD ext... if you like

The XFX PSU is MUCH better than the Corsair CX, especially the non-modular ones. They were made using some inferior Samxon capacitors that do not like heat and are known to fail early. I would not put one in a gamer.

My budget is only about £700. Including monitor, periphals and os which will take up about £190. So i need the CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, Case, Dvd drive, HDD and PSU for about £510. Any ideas?
