u9 is for us, not eu... here you only have the sp9 and the sp b9

 

i'd say cx over both cxm and sp9, as cx is a half bridge llc, compared to the other two being a double forward

I’m not a expert but this Seasonic looks good and it’s on offer currently (previously £60) . Plus what I understand it’s better to have bigger psu (more w) cos of efficiency

Thanks guys, but is there any reliable psu I can get for about £35 ($45) that meets my system?

In this price range it’ll be quite difficult to find decent psu. I bought my Evga 500W1 for £30 from Amazon few months ago (now price went up) I know it’s not best psu and ppl still gonna say it’s crap but so far I didn’t had any problems with it, managed to OC my cpu and gpu even. But for your system 450w should be enough, Corsair is quite expensive so if u looking for something really cheap (but still half decent) check EVGA
