What PSU

Hi
I'm after a new power supply for about £70 ish after mine went bang.

What would you recommend to run:
i7 920
6gig Memory
3 Hard drives
ati 5850

I was looking at the XFX Pro 650W Core Edition.

I'd recommend this Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W . I've just ordered one too.

From Guru3D

The card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system.

So the 600W will be plenty, and it's modular which helps with cable management

There's a review of it here.

I really like corsair PSU, will never buy any other brand.

Its more expensive that a lot of other brands but it will last.

Just saw your budget maybe this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-048-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

Can personally recommend the XFX series. Recently bought their 550W psu and its quiet, stable and has a five year warranty.

Fair enough, it is a decent PSU

If you want to stick with XFX, and want modular here's the 650W modular version:
