Need a new PSU. for future build

[Gibbo3771]

Hi,

I am running a 750watt antec psu, it cost me around 60-70 quid 3 years ago and its beginning to show its age. One of the fans is starting to hum pretty bad and I can not fix it, after numerous attempts.

I am in need of a psu around ~60 give or take, that can power an i5 2500, 12gb ddr3 ram and any of the mid-high end chipset mobo's to match.

I am also looking to upgrade to a GTX560ti over my current 260 but waiting for prices to drop with new gen cards.

After all that, I am wanting a phase cooling setup with the cpu and rest watercooled.

I am very new to this compared to how I used to be back in the day, when i had more time and money

So what am I looking at here in power? I am guessing a 750 is too little

Few links I quickly looked at, little bit more expensive than I want but seems has to be done :S ...

unless you plan on sli 550/650w is enough. if you want sli then 750w would be needed(well not needed as 650w should be enough but best to have some 'headroom').

antec, corsair, pc power and cooling(the new White modular(silencer mkiii) ones as those have seasonic as the oem, not sure about their other models) or xfx.

up the budget a bit to £70 if possible

In terms of the CPU and ram make sure the CPU is the i2500k not i2500 and the motherboards are dual channel for the ram so you'll want 2 or 4 sticks of ram not 3/6(so 4gb, 8gb, 16gb).
