Which PSU should I buy?

Im currently looking at upgrading my psu. Just looking for peoples opinions.

At the moment Im looking at the bequiet pure power 11 500w cm, the straight power 11 550w and the corsair rm550x

It will be powering a gtx 1070 and a ryzen 5 2600x and I'll probably be overclocking.

Im living in Australia so I'll probably be buying from either scorptec, pc case gear or mwave, My budget is about 150 Aud

 

thanks in advance

Between the RM550x and Straight Power 11, get whichever is cheaper... Both seem to be great units.

Main rig: i7 8086K // EVGA Z370 Micro // 16GB Gskill TridentZ 3200Mhz CL14 // Sapphire Pulse RX 7800XT// a variety of noctua cooling // Corsair RM750x v2 //  Fractal Meshify C

Secondary rig: R5 3600 // MSI B450i Gaming Plus // 16GB Gskill FlareX 3200CL14 // MSI GTX 1080ti Gaming X // Cooler Master V650 // Fractal Meshify C

Audio setup: Audient iD4 // Adam A7X // Sennheiser HD 650 // Sennheiser HD 25-II // Audio Technica M50x // Sennheiser Momentum 4

I'd recommend 500W or stronger, wouldn't advise going over 750W for that system.
