Does the store matter? Also do you have any plans on doing SLI?

store? as in where i buy it? ideally the ones above as they are easy to use. 

and no, no sli planned but am considering GTX780. 

Woops. Misread what you typed in your OP. Alright, I'll be looking there. You'll need probably 650-750 watts. Right now, I'm trying to calculate your power usage using a calculator(with the information provided) to be as accurate as possible.

 

Based on the provided information, PSU calculator(Extreme power supply calculator) says you'll need a recommended wattage of 540 watts. So 650 watt PSU for future upgrades. Even with a Titan(for reference here), you'll still only need a recommended wattage of 545 watts.

A cx600 will be plenty. No need to waste money now...

A 780 will also be fine on a cx600.

Since you're not gonna go SLI, go with a 600W PSU. Seasonic and Corsair are the brands I would recommend. Something like a HX650 would be perfect and it's 90 quid on Amazon

With that kind of a budget, I really would not recommend the CX-series. It's typically overpriced for what it's worth, overall quality isn't particularly great either.

 

I'd recommend either the XFX ProSeries 650w or the Fractal Design Newton 600w. Both are very good units for the respective price points, the Newton especially is comparable to higher-end units in terms of quality and performance.

Super Flower Golden Green (Gold) and King(Plainum). 550W is enough.

The Seasonic X650 and the Corsair HX650 psu will be enough to handle your GTX 780.
