New PSU please!

I've been using a BeQuiet 530W, upgraded the CPU today and it's not coped too well lets say. (Its gone pop) SO a new one is required! To be used on this spec :

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Will be overclocking) / 12Gb DDR3 / GTX460 / MSI 870A-G54 / Bluray drive / Couple of HDDs and an SSD.

Say £100 tops budget.

Cheers!

Top end of your budget - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-039-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

A bit more modest - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-006-LA&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

very surprised the bequiet couldnt handle that tbh.
personally i'd go for the OCZ one syulid recommended because it'll handle any upgrade you throw at it, and its more energy efficient than the lower end one stulid recommended, which will make up the price difference on the electric bill eventually

Yeah I think I'll go with the OCZ, as you've said its more efficient and it will be good for future upgrades!
Cheers!

I probably got 40 minutes of use before it just powered down, a rather nice smell given out, then nothing. :/
