Someone recommend a good PSU?

[igetaroundd]

I've just purchased a r9 280x and I have a 500w evga psu, although a lot of people say I should be good to go with a 500w psu, I don't want to risk it. I have a budget of £70, can anyone recommend me a good power supply?

 

Edit: Should I even buy a psu? I mean I have a OC'd 4100 to 4.4ghz, 1HDD, a fan controller and 5 case fans.

u really dont need more than a 500w psu just spend that money on an ssd or a new keyboard or something lol i run my pc with a 650w easily there is no risk lol.

wattage wise, you are set

 

quality wise, you better save up more and buy a real psu in future that will last years. with your budget, you could get like sub 600w seasonic or xfx psu

Just stay there.

what psu are you using and how long you've had it? 500w is PLENTY for a 280x and an oc'd fx4100.

I have a 500w evga 80+ bronze, i've had it for about a month. Had a no brand 750w before.

The 500B is plenty.

I just bought this, http://www.ebuyer.com/630112-evga-supernova-750-g2-fully-modular-gold-power-supply-10-year-warranty-220-g2-0750-xr

 

if u order within 5 hours u'll get it tomorrow, bit more than £70 but worth the extra tenna or so! (and exactly the same situation, upgraded to 280x on a 530 watt PSU)

 

I'm not sure what your system is pulling but I built mine in PC Partpicker and it came to an estimated 500 watts

Then you're good to go with that 500w psu.

His system should pull under ~350w.

I used eXtreme Power Supply Calculator, and my system pulls 400w under full load

Most of the Power supply calculators over estimate wattage so I would take their figures with a pinch of salt
