Hello,
I am going to be building a computer soon but don't know what psu to get. I plan to crossfire in the future but don't have the funds at the moment. It needs to be over 600W as i do plan on overclocking some, I only have a budget off about £80 and would prefer it to be modular or semi-modular.

The rest of the specs:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/NGN3 PcPartPicker says the estimated wattage is 399W with one graphics card but with two is 574W.

Thanks

600W isn't needed to OC. You could do with 550W. But I see you want to CrossFire, so I would get 650-700W.

Semi-modular PSU just 1 pound over your PSU budget. I also got you a better card + better CPU for the same price as before.
