now normally i wouldn't be asking this but.... im going to make a htpc for my daddy in da summer because he is always buying me stuffs and i thought i would do something for him back :D

so would this psu http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-035-OP&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

be ok to power all this in terms of not being stressed and going pop
athlon 64 x2 5200+
foxxcon cinema 2 deluxe
some sort of 4gb ddr3 ram
1gb 5450
30gb ocz agility
wdb 500gb drive
Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI
Scythe Shuriken BIG Quiet Low Profile CPU Cooler
and a couple of fans

or could anyone else recommend me a decent psu for £50 at max
would prefer modular tbh(not realistic for £50) or could you at least recommend a psu that is modular/not many cables that i could get for £50 or lower from here or fleabay?

ta verymuch

also can somone help me find a nice m-atx case, and if it has a window even better, max would be around £50 on that

ahh sorry i didn't make my self clear, i meant to say would that psu be okay as in not go pop? because there isn't much stress being put on it?
edited my op
 
go with the bequiet one RJC recommended. its exactly the same price as the one you recommended, but far more reliable. probably quieter too

*edit*
me + names = fail

This is the cable layout for the Bequiet.

they are not sleeved/braided.
 
thanks for that stulid, still a bit too many cables then i would like, i think i might go with the ocuk psu, if ocuk stock it then atleast it wont blow up right away :) and it is hardly gonna be stressed, and it says its high efficiency so... i will give it a try
