Im sure many of you will have read and/or posted in a couple of my threads the last few days. I apologise if your bored of me and my questions, but im new to building my own computers and dont want to waste money!!

I have 80quid to spend on a PSU, baring in mind the spec above, could you please recommend what I should buy :)

I will overclock eventually, hence the watercooling, and i hope the spec above is well selected?

Any advice much appreciated, thanyou everyone for your help thus far!!!! ;):):D

I would get this RAM instead:

I would look to get the Antec Signature 650W as it is a very good PSU:

However it only has a pair of PCI-E power connectors meaning it can only power a single HD5870 or a pair of HD5770 graphics cards.

OTH,the Antec TruePower New 650W has 4 PCI-E power connectors and the 750W version has got a good review:

I have edited above and put the 'OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply'...

Anyone have anything bad to say about it? Providing it is enough for overclocking and adding a second graphics card in the future I will have that one!

The OCZ 600W PSU will only be able to power a single card with two PCI-E power connectors or a pair of cards with a single PCI-E power connector each.
 
Something which has come up a lot is whether the phenom is C2 or C3... How do you know what one you will be buying??? Is the above phenom 965be from this website C3?

This is true. I've got a similar 550w modular ocz and yes it is sli, if say you've got two 8800gt's or something (its only a single card setup so i don't really mind). Personally i'd try and stretch to a corsair if you can.
