Good psu around 70-90 quid?

[SkeeterUK]

Hey all.

Need a psu for a mate somit reliable and well made with around 700w i reckon. Thought of corsair due to the one i had which was the 620w hx one but they dont make em anymore and wonder what a decent one like that would be nowadays thats around 700w ish.

Price £90 or under.

Modular one it must be.

Is single rails still relevant these days if so maybe a choice of one of them types?

Info from mate.

HDD= 3 sata plus 1 ssd

fans= 4 120mm

He wishes to upgrade to a 660 in the not to distant future and maybe a another fan.

Not sure but this sounded reasonable from the description and is a 80 plus gold rating.

Single rail vs multiple rails is irrelevant.

550W will do you fine, however a 750W will allow for future proofing of 2 graphics card if he ever wanted to.

Cant find a review for the xfx 750w bronze psu. Any help finding one see what the pros and cons are?

 

[DaleTheWhale]

XFX have seasonic internals, which are deemed to be the best PSU maker at the moment. Very reliable, quiet and reasonably priced for the wattage and modular.

Pros: innards made by Seasonic, looks cool, its quiet, reliability.

Cons: The modular cables are no better than the ones that come with a CiT/Powercool modular PSU, the ones that come with Corsair/Coolermaster/others are night and day better.

Here's a review: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=184

Its an older model but its the same internals/etc just the stickers on the box and fan colour that's changed.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-XF&tool=3 is this one good, it seems its cheaper than the 750w version due to on this weeks special offer. Not modular but would it be worth going for that if mate said he didnt mind if it wasnt modular?

Told him about that 850w on offer and he went for that so cheers for the recommendations of xfx ones. Should be a good one i hope.
