Best 600W power supply

[Hegehog]

Im needing a power supply (preferably not over 60 pound (can go slightly over)). 

It needs to either be modular or have fully sleeved cables,

Be a good brand and not blow up,

Have good cable options but not excessive,

2X 6pin power cables (not essential but would be nice)

 

Thanks for the help!

[Hegehog]

XFX XT series are as bad as the CX series.

The 8350 will seriously bottleneck anything over the 380 without some serious overclock, and cross firing or sli-ing is usually not recommended.

why?

Why is Crossfiring usually not recommenced? Because not every game supports it, and some implementations of it are horrendous. It´s more stable to have one stronger card than 2 weaker ones.

[Hegehog]

ok thanks. So is the xfx series not good then?

Just their XT series, anything else is good.

Not that one, the XT is not so good.

That one looks great, tad over budget but I'm guessing its worth it. Is there a better processor that AMD make?

What are you doing?  What are you buying?

[Hegehog]

Im replacing my pile of crap iMac, I have an AMD motherboard. Im buying amd x8350 and an r9 380 (for the main things). It will be for gaming and video editing if that means anything.

What´s your overall budget? Can you return the motherboard?

[Hegehog]

my overall budget is unknown but it is around 550 GBP. The motherboard I could sell as I bought it used for a steal. 

[Hegehog]

I should also note I have case, hard drives and fans

If that´s the maximum of your budget, that´s a pretty much as good as you´re going to get. Just get a decent cooler and overclock the shit out of your 8350, you won´t find anything a good experience unless you do so.

Im planning on overclocking it to hell. One last question for you si the hyper 212 eve any good for overclocks or is there a batter one for sub ~£50

The H7 would be better than the 212, but neither would be able to let you oc to hell. The H55 would do better as a water cooler, but still wouldn´t allow anything too crazy.

This would be a better option.  The Xeon is better when gaming, and in highly threaded applications.
