Looking for two reccommendations [solved]

Edit: Thanks, Halestorm. I put my order through.

------
I will be spending £300-350 today on upgrades. Looking for specific OCUK URL recommendations for:
A PSU that will power an i5 or i7 Haswell. Modular preferred.
A GTX 970

My ideas so far:
620 Watt Antec Modular PSU on special offer
EVGA GTX 970. A little expensive but gives an extra year warranty over the KFA. Also a more reputable brand.

What else is running in your system? Aslong as you don't have a ridiculous number of drives all running at the same time the Antec 620 should have no problem, what resolution will you be gaming at? unless its more than 1080p the 970 will be fine, might be worth looking at a r9 290X for the same kind of price though like this: MSI Gaming Edition R9 290X

Also if you can push to it, this Superflower is a great PSU, and fully modular rather than Semi http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-013-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2466

I am currently using an i5 650, socket 1156. I am saving up to buy an Haswell-E processor. My current GPU is a Radeon 5770

. I imagine my rig will be pulling between 400-500 watts or so with a GTX 970 in it. Any recommendation on which model of GTX 970 to buy ?

The EVGA you mentioned in the OP is looking a good call to be honest. I've had EVGA components in the past, PSU, and a couple of GPUs and they were brilliant
