Hi I'm making a build with a 9400f and 2060 super and was wondering if the be quiet straight power 11 650w (114pounds) would be good for my system. Also I'm planning on overclocking the gpu as well if that makes a difference

The Straight Power 11 is a great PSU and 650W is more than plenty.

 

The 9400F uses about 80W and the GPU about 170W. Add around 100W for the rest of the system and you can see 650W is way more than needed.

You could certainly get away with the 550W version too.

Straight Power 550w PSU died on me one time. Smoke, smell and if i wouldnt have been around at that moment, a fire.

Could have been a monday model, but i didnt buy bequiet again after this.

Since you listed your budget in pounds, I went to PCPartpicker.uk and found some other choices you might like, if you are not buying from a single retailer that is.

The local Tier List ranks then pretty high

You can set PCPP to UK and it will show UK stores and prices. The Antec Neo Eco Gold's doesn't show any availability on PCPP UK and the Silverstone SX500-LG is an SFX-L power supply, not ATX. SFX might have compatibility issues with their case and cable length (they're meant for smaller ITX cases and they have shorter cables than regular PSUs that might not reach to fit in larger cases).

 

The Corsair TXM seems to be in stock. The TX550M would also be fine for the build and is available at various places for 80 pounds if they wanted a cheaper alternative.

The Straight Power 11 is a better PSU than the TXM though. Could go with the 550W model but it seems they're sold out at most places.

my thought process was that if i get the 650w version then i would be able to upgrade in the future so i was just making sure be quiet was a reliable brand

How loud a PSU is depends on the PSU, not the wattage. E.g. the EVGA G3 1000W is louder at 80W than the Formula 450W is at 495W. (1760 RPM, 39.6 dBA vs 1479 RPM, 36.9 dBA). Numbers from Cybenetics.

Sure thing never said it not depends on the PSU.

My Straight Power 11 1000W Gold wispers at only 11.8 dBA with 50% load

The 550W is even more silent
