What PSU Would You Recommend? Semi-Budget Gaming PC

[Dankest]

So i am planning to build my very first pc soon and am not sure on which power supply i should get? I've checked many psu calculators and they have all given me mixed results. Here are my specs:

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 

CPU: AMD FX-6300

Graphics Card: MSI R9 280

RAM: Hyper Fury 2x 4 GB @1866MHz

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB

Fans: x4 (3 molex, 1 3-pin)

Will be adding an SSD in the future.

 

What PSU would you recommend for this build?
I'm thinking about a 550w Corsair VS550 or an EVGA 600w 80+ Bronze.

I am looking to spend about £50.

Thanks for any help

Reliable, trustworthy, and an overall superb PSU.

"EVGA 600w 80+ Bronze" comic sans is wonderful.

i would definitely skip the FX series. Here's a nice thread to explain why. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/401217-more-updated-fx-vs-intel-for-gaming/

 

Antec has a few decent budget options. I suggest you check out the PSU whitelist in my sig.

Im sorry but this build is still a decent gaming build with still a really good GPU (R9 280 being a 7950 was only just behind a 7970, which in 2012 was the top end single gpu you got from AMD/ATI) a CX430 does not belong in this build, if it was an office build with a single i3, then there would be more grounds for it, but this round nope.

Either of those psus are fine that you picked.
