Which psu would you recommend?

I am really stuck between these 2 power supplies, the gx lite 700w and the ocz fatal1ty 550w, the ocz has teh red led, and will look awesome in the haf xm, but I can get the gx lite 700w bundled with the haf xm for £133 which is really awesome and cheap, The full specs of my PC are:
-Haf XM
-MSI z77a-g45 gaming
-i5 3570k
-zalman cnps 9900 max
8gb 1333mhz ram
wd 750gb blue
club3d 7950 royalking

I wish to overclock the 7950, I may OC the 3570k, but the 7950 is bigger priority, I am not sure if the ocz fatal1ty will be able to handle this rig with the 7950 overclocked, I won't OC too much, and I may do voltage tweaking, I want to OC to at least the ghz barrier on the core clock, without voltage tweaking. To improve cooling, I'm adding a 200mm fan to the side of the haf xm.

thanks in advance

Hi - I appreciate the deal offered on the combo, but the CM gx lite 700 (discontinued)
PSU is not the way to go. It isn't a quality unit. The fatality is a little better, and has
enough +12v amps for what you want to do.

What's your budget for a PSU, I can probably find you a solid unit. Nothing wrong
with the fatality 550 tho. Here's some to consider:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/scancouk/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 - XFX 550 @ £49.86+

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/scancouk/antec-power-supply-hcg520 Antec high current gamer £55.82+

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/dabs/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9 XFX 650 @ £67.97

Thanks, I've decided to go for the Antec HCG 620w, this seems like a very good power supply, fits the colour scheme and will probably last me a while.
