I suggest the SeaSonic S12III since it's a good budget PSU and has 2 6+2 PCIe cables that you probably need for your 970, though if you want to reuse your PSU in a future build with higher end parts, the Seasonic Focus GX 550w, or if you are more budget limited, the Seasonic Core GC/GM 550-650w would work too.

MAIN PC:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor  Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi  CPU Cooler: Scythe Fuma 2  GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra  RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) 3000Mhz CL15

Case: CoolerMaster TD500 Mesh PSU: Thermaltake GF1 PE 750w Storage: 1TB Western Digital Blue 3D + 1TB Crucial P1 + 1TB ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro + 4TB Seagate Barracuda 5400RPM OS: Windows 10 Home

Headphones: Philips SHP9500s   Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Cherry MX Red  Displays: Gigabyte M27Q (27" 1440p 170hz IPS), Samsung UN32EH4003FXZA (32" 768p 60hz TV)

 

SECONDARY PC:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-9100F Processor  Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4-CB  CPU Cooler: Arctic Alpine 12 CO  GPU: EVGA RTX 3060 XC RAM: ADATA XPG 16GB (2x8GB) 2400Mhz CL16

Case: CyberpowerPC Onyxia  PSU: ATNG ATA-B 800w 80 Plus Bronze  Storage: 500GB Samsung 850 EVO + 2TB Seagate FireCuda SSHD 5400RPM    OS: Windows 10 Home

 

Former parts that I've used: Acer XG270HU, Asus Dual OC 2080, Gigabyte Aorus Master 3080, Gigabyte Gaming OC 3080, EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080, EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3080 Ti

Do you have a site we can visit ?

Well you won't fine anything that's cheap but good enough and won't explode.

Stretch your budget a bit or wait.

As for something around the 50ish€ range to 60ish that won't explode 

CV550

Vs550 

MWE White V2 

And the best out of all of these 

Cx550.

And add the system power 9 400w (or higher)

 

Those can be had cheap in the UK at least.

 

Irish retailers would be helpful

You can get a Seasonic S12III for very slightly cheaper (about 60 euro), but really I'd take the System Power 9 over it.

If you are in countries where there are variants of the System power 9. Like System power U9.

 

You might be able to get a system Power B9. Which is the unpainted bulk variant for slightly cheaper.
