I'm planning a new build centred around a (slightly power hungry) AMD FX processor (a 4350/6300 to begin with, but possibly upgrading in the future).
Using a PSU calculator, I've worked out that the system will probably need a 650W power supply. The absolute limit of my budget for the power supply is £80 shipped, but I'd love to save money if possible!
I've found these two options for a PSU at similar prices and can't decide between them.
OCZ-ZT650W (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-ocz-zt-series-fully-modular-psu-80plus-bronze-certified-85-efficiency-140mm-fan-5-year-warranty) (£80 shipped)
Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W (http://www.dabs.com/products/fractal-design-650w-tesla-wired-80--gold-psu-8B9M.html?utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_content=AW00&awc=3044_1373915672_10a883afea325f7bd036a22817e4dbdc) (£72 shipped)
I like the fact that the OCZ power supply is modular, however it's a bit less efficient than the Fractal Design and slightly more expensive. I was also tempted by a Fractal design Integra R2 650W which is roughly £25 cheaper, but i wasn't sure it was a good idea to skimp too much on a PSU.
Any thoughts/ help choosing would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
