A budget PSU spec me.

Friend of a friend needs a replacement for his crappy oem 300w unit.

Main gubbins are gonna be a 3570K (not overclocked) and a gtx 770 gaming.

I have found a new grey sticker CX450M for under £50.

Is there anything else we should be looking at? Have I massively underestimated power draw?

This would be a good choice.. Only problem is it's not modular

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x XFX XT Series 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply= £42.95

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Super Flower Platinum King 550W 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply - Black= £64.99

Bit over. Would be better for future upgrades.

The Corsair CXM is a decent unit. For under £50 you can't really go wrong with that.
