So I'm utterly broke and my PSU is dying

Need the cheapiest cheapo something to power

i5 4690k / z97 / 16GB ram
amd r9 380 4GB (2x6 pin)
2 x SSD, 2 x mech drives, 1 x internal blu-ray

Was hoping to spend 50 max, maybe 60 at a push.

Ironically enough my current PSU is still in warranty but I imagine getting that done would be a major ballache due to current events and even the postage is putting me off. I might just write it off.

Yep, I already figured I was getting nowt for 50. Thanks.

If I increase the budget to 70, either of these worth a punt?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply= £64.99
1 x Seasonic Core Gold GC-500 500W 80+ Gold Power Supply= £69.95

Total: £146.04 (includes shipping: £11.10)

I went for the bequiet pure power 11 500w in the end. Should be arriving later and it'll be a relief to get it installed after the racket my superflower has been making the last few weeks.

If it's DOA, I might just cry.
