Hi all.

Currently building a rig with:-

Kingston Hyperx 8gb (2x4gb) 1866hz
Sapphire R9 270x 2gb
AMD 4300 3.8
Asrock extreme3 R2.0
2x SATA HDD
1x CD/DVDRW Drive

Now i need a PSU but i dont know what size i need. I am on a budget, so £70 max on a PSU. Could anybody tell me (or recommend) the correct PSU to buy please.

Thanks in advance

I have always found this to be a good guide to working it out

The 550w is only a few pounds more and will be ample for your setup and future upgrades.
