Need a good PSU that is enough to power an Intel E5500 and an R9 270x.

Budget is max £50.

Seasonic SS430 i think. But it's freakin expensive over there in europe, or the Corsair CX430 it's for £50 without shipping, £58 with.

Realistically you could get any 500W PSU that isn't a fire hazard, the issue I seem to be having is that UK pricing sucks, so you'd have to get a not so great PSU, though it shouldn't matter to much since you aren't powering much.

OK, here's a 350W Seasonic which has plenty of power for a 270X. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr350st

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

would there be enough juice to change out the components if need be to someting like an i5 or an AMD FX/Athlon later on?

I'd say that if you exceed an i5 + GTX 970 combo that it would be time to upgrade.
