Right I am looking for an efficient, reliable PSU which won't break the bank either. It will be powering the below:
i5 4570 stock
Asus Z97-K
2x4GB DDR3 1.5v
GTX 660
3 x 120mm fans
SSD drive
Harddrive
Blu-ray drive

I'm looking at 350w PSU, perhaps 400w. More specifically, I was looking at this: BeQuiet Pure Power L8 400W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in

I'm not sure how reliable Be Quiet PSUs are, but the reviews for them seem decent. Enermax PSUs are quite what they used to be, apparantley, otherwise I'd consider another one of those.

I'm going to limit my budget to £75 for a PSU. Not fussed if it's modular or not - to be honest, I'll probably leave all the connectors plugged in if it was modular. :D
 
Ok after researching the 350W unit more, it seems it isn't as good as the 450+W units and has had corners cut. So I'm looking at this Superflower 450W model, only to realise it's out of stock! :(

Is it worth me holding out for, or are there equalivant brands for the same money? Still looking at about 350W units, but getting a 450W would give me a little freedom when I need to plug USB devices and eSATA drives in.
 
Apparantley they won't be in stock until next week. But after reading people's opinions of Super Flower, I think I'm prepared to wait.
