Need a new psu. which under £60 will run my rig.

ok before you say that's too cheap, and save up, or your a fool for not thinking of the psu. i have already given myself the kicking. my budget can only go lower without starving the family

no future cash or wife kills me.

I bought the following and was wrongly advised a cooler master elite 500watt psu would cope. i know foolish hey, but i listened.

I now have a set up that runs poorly and graphics go nuts. (rma the gpu and it was fine hence psu discovery)

i need to run this ocing the cpu to 4.2 but not the gpu yet.

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge)
Geil Black Dragon DDR3 1600
Corsair Hydro H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel Z77 Motherboard
MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III OC V2 3mb
60G Agility 3 SSD
2 HDD

in a Cooler Master Elite 430 so bottom set up psu with long cables.

Have sent back the psu so at the moment it is a deceased parrot

being as my max budget is £60 the xfx is outta the running

Kinda missing the <£69 point here thanks all. I'm sure the more expensive XFX/Corsair are wonderful but for at least until Xmas I have only £60 to spend and was looking for the best under that price cap.

how about the 520w seasonic?

OcUK warned me off the tx550m as didn't reckon it was high enough for the msi gpu
instead got the cx600. I fancied the tx myself but thought due to all the issues i have had (see my other posts) i should go along with them so if it goes wrong it stays there poor show and can't be blamed on my own bad judgement.

thanks for all the advice!!!
