Hi all,

6. Video Card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti WindForce X2 OC
7. Case - Cooler Master - Elite 311 (Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case

Seasonic Focus Plus Gold is where features/performance meets the price.
Except for nowadays standard 80+ Gold efficiency performance is about as good as it gets and there's proper length warranty.

(80+ Platinum efficiency costs extra and 80+ Titanium has luxury price)

If I was looking for a new psu right now I would also be looking at the Seasonic Focus Plus series. Gold rated, fully modular and compact at only 140mm long they also have a 10 year warranty. You can read a review of the 550w version here.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £84.95

Total: £95.45 (includes shipping: £10.50)​
