Any GOOD power supply under 50 pounds? (UK)

[robertdenia]

Hello I'm building a budget oriented gaming PC and I need help with the power supply. I think 600w is enough and even a little bit of overkill for the parts I'm using but let it be, if you have some strong suggestions about getting a better one let me know. I've decided upon the EVGA 600B bronze power supply and I think it is a fair choice.

I will be overclocking both CPU and GPU. Is 600w overkill? Should I get a better brand? Thoughts?

500w is fine

600W is overkill & that brand is perfectly fine but I'd go with SeaSonic, just because their shit never failed on me. EVGA is fine though.

Why Z97 and a Pentium? You could get an i3 and an H97 board for the same price as a G3258 and that Z97 board, and get way better performance in new games.

Most PSUs weigh under 10 pounds.

 

 

But seriously, anything Seasonic or bequiet! is good. And you need perhaps 400W max.

Because that CPU is only temporary, let's say 2 months MAX. I just want to try it myself and see how it goes. I will of course upgrade to an i5 4690k. Explains my reason of buying a z97 motherboard

Makes sense then if you're doing it for budget reasons. But if you're doing it just to practice on a chip before getting an expensive one, you could just buy the overclockers insurance from Intel on your 4690k and save a few bucks. But overclocking is nearly hard nor dangerous if done carefully, so even that would be a waste of money. Overclocking just takes time and patience moving only the multiplier or the core voltage baby steps at a time (and only one of them at a time), then stress testing, and repeat over and over until you get the highest stable overclock.

Well the overclock on the g3258 takes 5 seconds..

50 pounds is a heavy PSU...
