the 850w corsair you mention is also a great one but it would be a waste of money and power since it is needed for an 2x770 sli setup

the ocz does not have the recomended 44A on the 12v rail 770 wants.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B00... this xfx is way better and can output 44a on the 12v rail at the same price.

if you are going to overclock even the xfx lucks the power. a even better one like this is more apropriate

The xfx looks great im at a price range of £50 so should i go for the 550w as i dont plan on overclocking.
plus i haven't got the 770 yet its either that or an ati r9 280x sapphire vapor x 3gb. would the 550w be enough for the r9 280x also?

Radeon R9-280X - 30A on the 12v rail recomended so the xfx can easily run it. if you go with 280x you can even o/c. its is one of the best psu you can find for that money.
