How much room does it give me either way? Say if I was to overclock etc?

Yep it'll be fine.

I'm running a 3770k, 8GB DDR3, R9 280X (basically a 7970 GHz edition) and LG Blu-Ray with a 600W Cooler Master PSU (also gold rated).

All fine here, except i recently had to return my Gigabyte R9 280x due to it's loud fans and annoying coil whine :rolleyes:

running the rm 650, very nice and will power your system easily, even though you havnt said what gfx your using

Load will be using 320 W ish, so you've got a PSU ~ twice as powerful as needed.

320 because 400 measured at the wall is about 320 on the PSU side (which is what the spec refers to, delivered power).

This is where my money would go, i have just bought the 750w version. Jonnyguru gave the 650w 97% in his review. Quite a few reviews have mentioned the Corsair RM series using questionable quality caps and HardOCP failed the 750w altogether. All the EVGA units not built by Superflower (everything under 1000w) have recieved medicore reviews.

The Seasonic would get my vote too, although this Corsair (Seasonic OEM) is a damn good price for a fully modular gold rated unit.

Or the 550 W version for £15 less is still way overkill. You could probably use a 450 W unit with no problems.

im running a 3770k and 7990 with a 650w psu no problems, ur rig with only 1 gpu to power would definitely not be a problem with a good 500-650w psu

I'm mainly looking for a VERY quiet PSU, and have heard the corsair RM series are quiet.
