Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB
VTX3D HD 7870 Black Boost Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
XFX Pro 450W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

Would like to spend under £100.

Thanks

New psu arrived, all plugged in and the rest of my components are fine.

Phew.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Did you order the one I posted? Mine arrived today and it's not the one pictured, it's fully modular with the mobo/CPU connector as as modular cables.

Not complaining, I guess that's an old photo on the website.

I ordered the 850w, it's also not the same as the picture - but doesnt bother me at all. (in fact, I didn't even notice until you mentioned)
