I'm looking to upgrade the rig in my sig with this GTX 770 as soon as it goes on sale again. My PSU can produce up to 264W per rail, and up to 420W over all of the 12V rails combined. Adding a GTX 770 to my PC would get far too close to both of those limits, especially with overclocking, so I will need a new PSU. I'm really not fussed about getting a modular PSU because there is plenty of space at the top of the case to wedge all the unused cables. I'm also not likely to go SLI any time soon so I wont need something very powerful.

Is there anything better available from OcUK than the Super Flower Golden Green HX 550W, or should I just go ahead and order it now before this weeks sale ends?
(I have free delivery so ordering the GPU separately isnt a problem)
 
That PSU would be a solid choice, there is alternatively the Seasonic, BeQuiet, EVGA, Silverstone and Antec to name but a few :)

Are there any particular models that you would recommend? I chose the superflower because out of the brands I recognised it is much more efficient than everything else that provides a similar amount of power at a similar price.

*edit*
The this week only deals still get changed on Wednesdays don't they?
 
I have just bought a new PSU, I was going to buy one from the Superflower range, until it was pointed out that EVGA is Superflower, it also has a 10 year warranty.

A win win in my book ;)
