So it's that time of year where I'm buying a few things to upgrade my PC,
I currently have a Corsair 650W power supply, but with the new equipment I am getting, I am slightly concerned about how much usage of the PSU it's going to take up, I've really looked into it about the whole efficiency and depending on how much of the PSU you actually use etc.

So here are my PC specs ;
Video Card : EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC
CPU : i7-3820 3.60 GHz OC 4.2 GHz
CPU Cooler : Corsair H100i
Motherboard : GA X79-UD3 (Rev 1.0)
RAM : 16 Gb (4 x 4) 2400 MHz
Storage: 1. Corsair Force GT 64Gb SSD
2. OCZ Vertex 4 128Gb (x2) RAID SSD
PSU : Corsair OCZ 650 W

So all I'm looking for is a quite powerful PSU for a reasonable price, I'm looking for something preferably under £200, but if a PSU is worth the value for money, I may have to go over budget,
All suggestions would be very much appreciated, thank you :)

Hi - the PSU you now have will run that system, but since you want newer & more power, here are some choices.
All below £200:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/scancouk/xfx-power-supply... Silver efficiency - 850w - Seasonic OEM semi mod
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/ariacouk/xfx-power-supply... - full modular - 850w - gold efficiency

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazonuk/corsair-power-su... - platinum efficiency - 860w - modular

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/mr/amazonuk/seasonic-power-s... - also platinum - 860w

Thank you for the suggestions, I've actually been looking into the corsair one and now it's looking even more promising :)

Hi again - good choice - and has almost it's entire watt spec(71.6 +12v ams, 859w) avail in +12v amps,
which means it is able to deliver a lot more than 860w total.
