£200!! dude, the ones above will be spot on for atleast £54 less or more.

You shouldn't be sacrificing RAM for that, even if its a "stop gap" thats money wasted.

was just about to hit the button there!, people say 850 min for the 7970 xfire and with the matrix being clocked to 1100mhz + 4770k OC just want something solid. The ram I can sell as a upgrade to me dad so defo no money lost on that. Is the £200 good money spent for quality or just a waste?

Its a waste, what with the EVGA PSU being £60 less and also getting a solid score at Jonnyguru (one of the most respected PSU review sites along with Hardwaresecrets).

Here is guru3D power consumption test for the card - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_7970_review_matrix_platinum_radeon,7.html

A good 850W PSU should be fine too such as the Antec.
