Hello, I'm having a little trouble deciding what PSU I want to buy, so I thought I'd ask you guys as I'm sure most of you have more experience than I do.

 

I need to PSU to be about 600w - 650w around that area anyway, I need it to be compatible with Haswell CPU's, I'd prefer it to be fully modular and also I'd like to try and keep it under £100 willing to spend a little more if I have to.

 

Thank all of you guys in advance :)

anything from Corsair,FSP, Seasonc, Antec and XFX are also good.

 

Edit: FSP DO make good PSUs people just don't know as much about them, all the reviews about them are very good.

Also if you see one you like Google some reviews about them ans you will soon find out if it is a good PSU.

Like Woodypc said, any Corsair, seasonic, antec and xfx psu is really good. Take the right wattage at the lowest price between those brands and you should be good (should be at least 80+ Bronze of course), unless you want more efficiency then look for a 80+ silver, gold or platinum but it's more expensive.
