Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU , Best value for sure at £62.

I disagree about the Hiper PSU. It's cheap, nasty, badly manufactured and unreliable. I had one of these shiny bling PSU's for one day before I had to return it. The Hiper range is designed for the teen market.

If you're into bling rather than function buy a high gloss low quality Hiper, otherwise I'd recommend going for a quality PSU from a manufacturer like Tagan, Seasonic, Enermax etc. Any decent PSU rated at 400W or more should meet most people's needs.

I just returned a hiper 580w. It just about powered my Pc with one 1900xtx in and fell over everytime with 2 in on crossfire mode. Dont think i would use them again, got a 700w epsilon psu now, only been in for 2 days but so far so good.

I have the hiper 580.. and there is nothing wrong with it.

performs good.. not loud.. and looks great.
