The Corsair VS is very, very poor. Check out the PSU Tier list in my signature.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

Nope not really. Get a minimum of the CX (Grey label) for Corsair.

 

What budget do you have for the psu ?

I am forced by warranty to have one, already replaced one VS PSU, this second one has begun rattling, but not yet causing more issues, is going asap I can get cash together for an EVGA one.

EVGA has some pretty bad apples as well. No company is 100% solid with PSUs, minus Seasonic.

Yep, don't get that one.

Given I'd have a budget of about £50, with my bike test AND my current bike desperately needing new tyres.  What would you recommend from Scan? (can PM me this don't want to hijack the thread)

^ Can you get the Seasonic S12II 520W in the UK?

 

Although you are running a R9 390 I see. That would ideally require something in excess of ~550W.

A 500watt is fine, although it has to be a quality one.
