Can someone find a reliable PSU for

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G41 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Sandisk 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7950 3GB Video Card
Case: BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower Case
Other: Windows 7 Home Premium (£39.99)
Total: £757.66

It must be able to support 2 7950's for when I upgrade it when one isn't enough. It must also be reliable and as cheap as possible but not generic. If possible try to make it under £815 :) ONE more thing! i must be able to have 2 SSD's including the one listed and a hard drive. And a DVD drive
 
On offer this week.
Internals made by Seasonic, some of the best you can get.
More than enough power for your system.

You will want to find a better motherboard. That board won't Overclock very well as it lacks decent voltage control, or do crossfire very well as the PCI E lanes run at 16 x 4 when ideally you want 8 x 8 or better.

What are you going to be using the computer for, I'm sure one of us should be able to come up with a better spec for you.

The i7 has hyperthreading which not many games are able to take advantage of. When using a single graphics card there is not much difference in performance between a 3770K and a 3570K. It does help in video editing but it depend on how much you are doing as to whether it is worth having the i7.

For the same price you won't get much better unless you are willing to try second hand or B grade boards.

I will be upgrading to 2 7950's in the future so does that mean i should get the 3770k?
 
In some games when using 2 GPUs the i7 will give better performance, BF3 for example. In other it makes minimal difference.

Have a look in the CPU sub-forum I'm sure that there was a thread about this a little while ago.
 
 
Ok think ive picked now, just gonna get a 3750k as it is cheaper and performs just as well in games. Plus i can sell it in a year when i buy another 7950 and by a 3770k :P thanks every one :D
