Hey Guys! I am building a new PC very soon and need a helping hand choosing a 500w PSU. It must be under £45 as I am on a budget and must also provide 2 PCIe Connectors in order to power my GTX660 linked below. I don't mind if the PSU is modular or not although of course it would be nice to have a modular one so I don't get lost in the world of cables! Thanks.

Thanks for the help. ;-)
 
Any of these are solid choices, and all a bit higher than 500W, but it is good to have some headroom

The EVGA suggested is a pretty good choice too, I was just going for a bit of headroom incase you eventually upgraded to something that needs a bit more power so you won't have to buy a whole new PSU, which is the situation I am in atm

My bad on forgetting the budget you had in mind, at that price the EVGA is probably about the best you can get

They are solid but not nearly close to his budget...
