PSU suggestions

[Toadem]

Hi all,
Im currrently rebuilding my PC a bit at a time as i can afford it. Next on the list is my PSU, i had my heart set on a corsair AX760i but the budget will only stretch to £100, my next choice is the RM750 but looking around there is so much to choose from.
All suggestions greatly appreciated to help me spend my hundred quid .

The other items i have so far are
Asus Crossfire formula V motherboard
CM Storm Trooper case
Asus GTX560ti x2

Still to add (in january)
SSD
FX8350 cpu
Cooling

Thanks for the suggestions so far, the Aerocool doesnt list the warranty it offers. Im looking at the 2 be quiet units and see one has a 3 year warranty while the other offers 5 years from the same manufacturer? it seems a bit strange.

Yeah, the Aerocool may not be the way to go, maybe contact OcUK and ask them - worth a punt!

The Aerocool psu is not a good choice.

I would give that Aerocool a miss if I was you.

Okay, I guess suggesting that was a bad idea :S

Yea, reading what kitguru say the Aerocool is not an option, this is my first full rebuild in about 10 years so im looking towards decent warranties and future upgrades rather than another rebuild in 2 years, i looked at the corsair RM series because of the 7 year warranty because i know its going to be a while before i can throw this amount if cash at my PC again... The wifes already nagging lol

I would get the 8320 chip and save £30.
