Antec EarthWatts 380W

Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant or the lower Watt Corsair PSU perhaps.

Corsair HX 620W

Why!? A rig like that won't pull more than about 300 W.

I'd suggest 620w would be a bit overkill although the Corsair VX 450w is a good substitute at under £50. The Antec that Billy suggests for ~£30 would be fine also.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

The outervision PSU calculator predicts 225 W at load.

Which is why I suggested the lower watt PSU at the end of my note

Huge overkill. VX450w at the most.
