Hello folks, I am about to build my 3rd gaming pc. And the last component I cannot figure out is my psu. I was hoping for some suggestions. My budget is 80 pounds tops. (only money left) I don't want overkill. Just enough to do what is listed with some leeway.

Rig:

Cpu: AMD FX 8320 (Will be oc @4ghz) From what I have seen it can be set at 4ghz without adding more voltage.

Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 AMD 990FX

Gfx: Gigabyte Gtx 660 windforce 2x 2gb (one gfx card not two incase of confusion)

Ram: Corsair vengeance 8gb (2x 4gb)

Storage: 60 gb corsair ssd + 1 tb hdd

Case is antec 300 one case. (Bent sides for more space) With 2 exhaust + 2 intake fans.

I think that should do.

Any help is appreciated, thank you for reading folks.
 
I checked the superflower 650, and asked ocuk via email and they stated I might want another one.

Email Read: "I would advice you to use a higher one as you also have a graphics card to power. If you are going to overclock with a GPU in the system you will need to take that in to account.

I would suggest a 700w will cover your needs fine.
"

And then I got this one:

"A PSU such as this should be a great choice offering plenty of power on the +12V rail that powers your graphics card and CPU...

I was thinking overkill?

I heard the sf were very good, but I've never owned one.
 
Unless your looking at running dual cards then a 550w onwards will be fine, I went the 650w as its only a £10 more tun the 550w version.
 
I linked all the things as to not make any mistakes. Unless they thought the 8320 overclock was much bigger than it actually is.

So any 550w that is gold rated will do good. I'll get that superflower one then, unless there is any others that would be better? I was thinking sea sonic but sf makes them so I heard. (so same thing different name right?)
 
Hmm thank you very much.

It'll either be the 650 sf for future second 660 gtx or the seasonic. See how my money goes.

Thanks folks.
