The CM silent pro series is good, I have used them quite a few times and they don't break the bank.
I personally prefer (and use myself) the Bequiet L8 630W Modular PSU. It's the rival to the CM silent pro 600W, it has a lil more power and the cables are braided which makes the inside of the case look tidier. I got mine from here but currently OCuk aren't stocking Bequiet PSUs which is a shame
I'll post a selection of PSUs here to consider.....
YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650M High Performance 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply (CP-9020002-UK) £74.99
1 x PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 600W High Performance Modular Power Supply - White £74.99
1 x XFX 650W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £72.98
1 x Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £62.99
Total : £285.95 (includes shipping : FREE).
Hope we have been of some help

I believe all of the XFX models from the 450w core upwards are Seasonic, can't really go wrong with em'.

Oh, a surprising number of good replies indeed. Thanks for the responses everyone.
I went and had a look at the reviews for all of the ones you said and I think I'll either go for the CM Silent Pro 600, or bump up the budget a bit and get a Corsair TX650M.
I probably don't need that much more power for a future single card set up get up. Thanks for the responses again. I'll be glad not to hear my PSU again
Weird how the fan is always on at full speed though. Strange manufacturing fault on OCZ's part, a few years ago.

I don't know if they're available here, but I would highly recommend BeQuiet PSUs.
Rock solid in terms of performance, reliability and quality, and as the name suggests, they're bloody quiet. I had a Dark Power Pro 650w in my old rig and it was near silent

I'd recommend an XFX power supply if it wasn't for the noise which mine has - drives me mad. If I had to do it again, I would've spent the extra £20 and gone for one from the corsair AX range.

Ah yes, I was wondering where those had gone from OcUKs stock! I'll hold off any purchase until someone can confirm if the PSUs will come back. The Dark Rock Pro cooler has recently come back into stock so there is hope yet.
I just bought the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-000-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497 XFX 850w.
It has this ticking sound eminating from it.
There seems to be more than a few reports of it as well.
Of course with any piece of hardware, some will have issues.
I most likely will have to RMA it as the sound although low, is annoying when the room is silent.
Just something to think about when you make your purchase.

I'll say mine has FUNCTIONED well as a PSU. However the fault with mine is that it's always at full fan speed. Otherwise it would have been great. The new ones have this issue fixed, I believe.
I have taken note of the issues with some XFX PSUs.
Hope someone from OcUK sees this thread and can respond in relation to the availability of BeQuiet PSUs, if not I'll send a question in their support forum.
