Well, some are a little bit over budget, but if you want to stick to that, then the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 600W (which is a based on a Seasonic M12II).

- Enermax does good PSUs (used to be the go-to brand, got eclipsed by Seasonics and Corsairs). This Triathlor looks new.
- All others are variations of Seasonic designs.
- The G-550 is a gold-rated PSU.
- The Antec 520W will be fine for 670 / 7950. I would probably push over 550W for a 7970, depending on how much overclock you have in mind.

Yeah I need a bit of leg room as my CPU is over clocked and I will be doing the same for my gpu so around 600w to be safe, but psu I really don't know anything about them

Are Be Quiet a trusted brand

7970 is probably what I will be using

The one I got was a rebranded CiT so good make, but they are not quiet by any definition of the word.


@OP I was about to recommend a CM Silent Pro modular as they are awesome and completely inaudible unless you have no fans/drives/pumps in the entire system (and even then you have to have your head a foot or two from it). But sadly it looks like OCUK have stopped stocking them :( they do have the newer 2 series but they are a lot more expensive and over your £70 budget.
