Need a reliable PSU, doesn't need to be powerful

UberTiger · 25 Oct 2012 at 03:04

For a workstation PC.

Currently with an i7 920.
12GB RAM
A few HDDs
Nvidia 9500GT

Modular would be nice, but not necessary.

It won't ever have a powerful graphics card in this PC.

I'm not sure which brands have good reputation for being reliable at the moment - any advice?

Reliability is the most important thing for me with this as this PC will not be used very often, but when it is used, it's for very time sensitive work and I really don't want it going down.

Am I right in thinking I could find something reasonable for approx £50? I don't mind paying a bit more if it's got a really good reputation.

Personally would have advised with a G series as the warranty is handled by OcUK

How about this?

From what I've seen on here XFX have Seasonic components or are manufactured by them (someone correct me if I'm wrong as I don't want to give false info) extra £20 but is also modular.
