I am in-need of a new PSU, the one i have, i hate it. :angry: Its ugly. and crappy.

 

What kind of PSU can i get, fully modular, if not, semi modular, decent, but cheap.

 

I'm not sure how much Wattage i would need, but my specs are in my sig.

Update coming soon.......... ;)

Corsair and Seasonic make good PSUs, but they're mostly out of your price range.

probably the corsair cx series although they are semi-modular and are very hard to find. 

So I spelt something wrong in my post... I don't care I don't read through what I write and I type very quickly.


Intel 3770k stock, MSI Z77A-GD65, MSI GTX 760, Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600Mhz 16Gb, Corsair RM 550W, Samsung 830 256Gb, some random hdds.

I would add a little bit of money and get this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-seasonic-g-450-modular-80-plus-gold-eps-12v-12cm-silnt-fan-atx-psu (weird even though the url says that it is a 450w psu the website says that it is a 550w)
