go with a more mainstream brand such as corsair seasonic antec and xfx you need a good quality power supply as if a surge passes it could fry all of your components.

ah fair enough, was planning on upgrading after christmas, i've got a pretty industrial quality surge protector extension, so i don't think that would be a problem

^ PSU mainly isnt surge protector

it is DC electric supplier... you might not want to supply your expensive PC with bad quality DC power. i am afraid it can cause your PC to fail alltogheter sooner or later. following his advice will save your money

fair enough, this is the Power supply, was strapped for cash when i was building it so had to settle for this--> http://www.amazon.co.uk/EZCOOL-650W-24Pin-Super-Silent/dp/B0010YLGZI

i'm taking that as a no to overclocking the GPU then?
