Quick bit of PSU advice needed!

Flibbib

Hey all, thanks to your guys help here is my build I am literally ordering now! I'm away soon so need everything to come on Amazon Prime and I can get everything except the PSU in my list below. Funily enough it looks to be really hard to get a hold of, so can someone suggest a reliable alternative? Same sort of price but can go higher, but preferably lower as I'm already over budget. 

 

Going to be OC'ing CPU & GPU once cooling is upgraded so need a PSU capable of that

The excellent alternative would be the EVGA 650W G2. An extra 3 bob. Yeah, you're giving up 100W but it won't affect your system unless you're going to crossfire and even the 750W might be light on that.

EVGA has a mixed range of PSUs. Their good ones are Seasonic and SuperFlower (and a couple of FSP) units. The G2 is a SuperFlower unit that is very good, but the XFX TS is a good Seasonic unit too. Either one is very good.

Probably the best deal is a 550W GS series for £64 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/Modular+650W+or+less/EVGA+Supernova+GS+550W+%2780+Plus+Gold%27+Modular+Power+Supply+?productId=63512&source=pcpartpicker

 

If you click on the link for the TS PSU, it doesn't actually show up on CCL and some other ones have the price marked wrong.
