I'm looking to get a PSU to use with the following Hardware...
I'm not looking to change any aspect of my hardware choices as I feel it is ideal for my needs.

Only catch is I have a max budget of £60 Inc VAT.

Case: Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case (My current one)
CPU: Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
Cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev2 CPU cooler
Graphics Card: HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 ICEQ X TURBO 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express
Hard Drive/OS Bundle: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache, with Microsoft Windows 7 - Home Premium 64 Bit
DVD Drive: LG GH22LP20 22x DVD±RW IDE Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter
Monitor: BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" Widescreen LED Monitor & OcUK Value 2m DVI Male - Male Monitor Cable
 
TBH, I really wouldn't suggest getting a system based on an i3 550 and a H55 here in June 2011. This is now last-generation tech which has been replaced by sandy bridge 32nm chips. Therefore for about the same money I would go for a Quad core i5 2xxx CPU (ideally an i5 2500K if you can afford it) and a s1155 board (ideally P67 or Z68 for overclocking) - this will be much quicker than an i3 550.

As for a ~£60 PSU, I would go with this one if you can strech an extra £5. If not, then go for this one.
