Hi all,
Spec as follow:
I7 2600K
ASUS Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
8GB DDR3 2x4GB
Asus P8Z68 V PRO
2TB HDD

Currently I have Cooler master GX lite 500w psu.

I have also ordered HAF 932 and will possibly be adding fan controller and CPU temperature reader.

Will this psu be able to run the system without stressing (Including PC fans) I don't want psu or the system to blow.

If not then please recommend me a good quality PSU with decent price.
Also I live in UK so will not be able to buy from sites like newegg

It will be ok if you don't overclock the system because when overclocked or when at full stress it might bottleneck but I recommend you to get a new PSU if you can afford of 600 watts above with a good certification.

The psu you have its not bad. But I'd still recommend you get an XFX,SeaSonic,Corsair PSU. They are the best and most recommended.
For your sistem id recommend XFX 550W Pro Core Edition (I have it too). I found it on scan.co.uk for 50£. It has 44A on 12v rail. So more than enough.

Or maybe this one:
Seasonic M12II-620 620W Modular its for 67£ on that site. And its modular. So no any extra cables in your sistem. That means less heat in the case.

Which one would be better, XFX or Seasonic? I will possibly be adding more hardware and maybe overclocking in the future. I just saw Corsair TX850 but I has been used for technology shows as the seller stated. plus less the 150hours used.

If you can get that Corsair TX850 for low price go with it. Otherwise id recommend Seasonic's. Or buy XFX 650 Pro Core Edition. Which is cheaper than Seasonic 620w but its not modular!

Its always better to have some 'free space' with psu's.

Its up to you.
