It's £6 more than the 650 watt version so i said why not.

But are you planning to crossfire in the future? There is no point in buying a 750w power supply unless you plan to CF/SLi with it.

 

Otherwise, it's just a really inefficient power supply.

get a 650 watt power supply 750 is unnecessary if you're not planning to use multiple cards in the future  and how about a aftermarket air cooler and get a case with a big window and lights it will look really nice (just a suggestion) 

Current system - ThinkPad Yoga 460

ExSystems

Spoiler

Laptop - ASUS FX503VD

|| Case: NZXT H440 ❤️|| MB: Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI || CPU: Skylake Chip || Graphics card : GTX 970 Strix || RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB || Storage:1TB WD+500GB WD + 120Gb HyperX savage|| Monitor: Dell U2412M+LG 24MP55HQ+Philips TV ||  PSU CX600M ||

sure you can spend cuple bucks on beefier psu if you want to crossfire.

but then get better mobo -> gigabyte 990 

if not, you are spending money on the wrong place. also with gigabyte you will have stable cpu even if you overclock

yes, hyper 212 evo would be good with this build, considering the budget.

 

Rather get cheaper case and put in better mobo + hyper 212.

 

also nice to see ram prices dropping

PNY 4 x 4Gb = 80 dolar  very nice

Yes I am planning to CF in the future once one 7970 Ghz is not enough.

Yeah you could easily cut the psu down to save some pounds...

Hahahahhahaaha get it cutting down to save pounds ok fine whatever.

Also is it a must on getting a fractal design psu?

Not really but if you can find an 80+ Bronze 750w psu for cheaper be my guest,
