PSU for build - £60/70

onimkron · 2 Dec 2011 at 21:51

Currently picking up parts for a build, just wondering what PSU to go for. I'm looking for a modular one, something along the lines of £60 to £70. Components so far:

Intel 2500k CPU
560 ti 1gb
1x HDD
1x SSD
8gb ram

(so basically a standard build

)

I'm thinking of getting this one, which I can get else where for about 63?

From the reviews I've read though, it's quite an old model, so maybe it would be better to go for something newer. I don't intend to go SLI, but the option would be a bonus.

What about this one? - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-051-BQ&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1083

Could run it and it is 80+ Gold... All for under £50, great deal.

you wont get much better than that Antec, yes its an older one but its still one of best in that class

I don't think you will get much better than the Antec if you're specifically after a modular PSU in that price range.

Personally I would go for the BeQuiet mentioned above though. Although the Antec claims to be 'modular' it has just about every connection you're going to need hard wired.

Thanks for the replies. I like the look of that bequiet psu- would be great for the budget I had in mind, but unfortunately I don't have free delivery as an option, so the price gets pushed up to around the same as the antec.

I'm happy that antec is looked upon favourably though, so i'll probably buy that one. Thanks for the help

Edit: But having looked at those photos, there are indeed a lot of hardwired cables- way more than I need. Hmm, it might be cheaper just to get a reliable, non-modular PSU, or just go for Antec's 550w model.
