I'm not having much fun researching PSUs so I figured you guys might just be able to give it to my straight. I need a PSU I can trust not to be faulty or cause problems and that can work with my price range... i.e. not very much, I'm willing to to pay at MOST £40-£50.

Please note, my specs are subject to change as I haven't bought any of it yet, besides the case which is a decent size so I don't mind if it's modular or not.

Specs so far

PSU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHZ 8 core

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Graphics card: ARIAnet Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Links appreciated ;)

Ok so firstly the top four PSU manufactures are awarded to:

Corsair
Antec
XFX
Seasonic

For your system you will only need around 450w so I recommend you get either:
