Decent PSU £60?

Right I'm in the market for a new psu since mine has some blown capacitors. Did have an ageing OCZ modstream 520w and spec is as follows.
QX6700 wanting to overclock
Gigabyte 965p ds3
4gb ram corsair 8500 twinx stuff
6850 1gb pci-e
3 sata hdds, 1 10k raptor and 2 normal
1 dvd drive 1 dvd/rw
3 120mm fans and fan controller

So what do we think will be good for £60 and capable to keep all that in check with overclocks etc.

I suppose you want to avoid another OCZ? if so a Antec new truepower 550W/650W are excellent.

Yeah, Antec TP-550. Should handle everything fine. 650 is £10 more, good as well for crossfire. look up reviews, but it's a solid unit, made by Seasonic.

Yea avoid them for the moment, I checked the warrenty and it was 4 months out of the warrenty lol but have no idea how long its caps had been blown for. So would another 520-550 be enough still for my sort of mid range system.

It is enough, the 650W will just last longer still.

Yeh get the 650W one.

Alright well I see a pattern lol, ill see if I can manage the extra £10, but if not the 550 will see me through for a while right.
