Spec me a PSU

[Radec]

Hi guys, I would really appreciate some help choosing a new PSU.

Previously owned the Corsair CX 750w M, but the coil whine was there a lot, and there was a constant high pitch sound from it. Refunded and looking for a new one.

My PC:
Intel I5 3570k
Gigabyte ga-z77-d3h Mobo
8gb ram
Radeon HD 7870 GPU
1tb HDD
248gb crucial SSD
And 3 case fans

So I need a 24 pin for mobo, 4pin for the CPU, 6 pci-e for the GPU, 3 of those thin satas I think theyre called for the drives and CD drive. And the 4 pin molex? For the fans

Budget; we'll the corsair I had was £75, but wouldnt mind stepping around the £100 mark

Thank you

Can't fault the bequiet psu I have.
Almost silent operation, & with 1000w plenty of power.

1000W is pure overkill for the OP's needs.

Any of the units below will have more than enough juice.

A 500W would be plenty for a 7870 and 3570K.

One of the RM 550w, or even a 650w, I've got the 850w and it is awesome, I have never heard the fan spin up.

650w Seasonic G series @ £89.99 which would also leave plenty of headroom for future expansion. They are cracking psu's and my 750w is just about silent and has no coil whine at all.

The thing is you can get the Seasonic M12II Evo 750W for a tenner less, plus it is fully modular. It uses the same fan as the G series, and has all Japanese caps so it should perform the same.

The G is gold and not being fully modular is not a problem if using a gpu as the only extra wire is a pci-e power lead which would be used anyway.
