Power supply recommendation.

[Ripmax]

Hi, not sure if this is the correct place to post this but my question is, I am upgrading from an NVIDIA 750Ti graphics card to a 960 and I am also taking the opportunity to replace my power supply as it has been having some issues. My processor is an AMD-FX 8350 and I have 8GB DDR3 of HyperX Fury RAM. What power supply and wattage do you guys recommend? I don't really want to spend more than £50-£60 on the power supply.

500W is enough. 650W to be safe

A good 500W power supply will serve you well but I'd just bump it up to 550W or 600W to be on the safe side.

I forgot to mention, I have my processor overclocked to 4.5GHz and plan to overclock the graphics card slightly, not sure how much I will though, would a 550-600 still be sufficient?

Yes

A 500w PSU is already "beeing on the safe side".

Even a 400w PSU would do the job.

A nice and cheap PSU would be a the EVGA 500B or 600B.

EVGA has also their G1 and GS line of PSUs. Those are little more "high end" and feature modular cables for example which is nice to have.

But there are so many great PSUs out there.

Corsair, EVGA, Cooler Master, be Quiet, Sea Sonic, Super Flower, XFX, Fractal Design, and so on are all great brands.

Just stay away from the Corsair CX line.

What's wrong with the CX line?
