Spec me a PSU

[Devious]

Installed a 3770k (from a 2500k) yesterday and PC shut off after 30 mins of BF4. After that PC would crash loading desktop and eventually now just powers on for a few seconds than goes off/repeat.

Thought it would be my trusty old Silverstone Zeus 850 PSU but my PSU tester lights up OK so i just uninstalled PSU from my case (pita!) and took it to try on my parents basic core2 PC . it actually posted on that but woulndnt detect hard drive. So I pretty sure its psu right?

My system:
3770k @ 4.5+
8 GB ram
2 x gtx 670 in sli
Possibly keep 2 x custom wc loop/pumps (but may just go h110)
DVD drive.
2 x Ssd
2 x 2TB hard drives
1 maybe 2 fan controllers.
9/10 fans

I'm thinking if changing cases to either the 750D or storm styker.

Was thinking something like Corsair AX860i
Is there any as good quality PSU around this level worth considering?
Around £100-£160 and modular.

There does`nt seem to be an awful lot of 800+ units to choose from, not on here any way.

These 2, depending on your budget.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution 850w 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply (ST85F-G) £146.99
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 850W Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (0-761345-06225-1) £119.99
Total : £278.38 (includes shipping : £9.50).

Antecs seem to get recommended a lot on here at the moment. Last time I was in the market they weren't rated that much.

I'm happy to save the pennies though if its gonna last.
Are Antec warranties any good?

Im not dead set on an 800-900 watt. If any above or below will cope then I'm interested.

Unfortunately I won't be buying off here as I need to go and collect first thing tomorrow. I can't wait another day without PC, been climbing the walls the last 2 days

Why is that? I swear there were loads more around that price at one point? Like the NZXT Hale etc.

Been reading up on a lot of the above.

The Silverstone got good reviews but I really don't like how the cables show the bare wires near the connectors.

The place I will be buying from don't sell Antecs.

I'm really liking the coolermaster v850 or v1000. Seems a bit cheaper than the corsair ax860 whilst having the same internals.

Or look for an XFX.

Second this, If I can remember the link there is a listing of the PSU brands alongside the manufacturers seasonic being at the top of the manufacturers list.

most of the XFX Supplies are made by seasonic so component wise you can't go far wrong.

Xfx is out if stock where im buying from in 30mins.

Decided on the Cooler master v-series 850. Another Seasonic unit. Gets top reviews everywhere.
