i have a AMD 8350 cpu, x4 1600hz ddr3 ram (2gig per stick), x2 ati r9 280x graphics cards, sabretooth 990fx v2 motherboard, 4 12mm fans, 1 cpu watercooling pump. Would a standard 700w psu be enough to cope with the draw needed (nothing is overclocked as of yet). summers upon us here in the uk now and wont do anything like OC till autum/winter now.
what Wattage will i be needing to OC and ofc standard no OC'ing.
thanks in advance.

will there be much spare W for such things as usb devices and such, more cooling etc to be added (like seperate pump for watercooling the graphics cards, 1 pump dedicated to the cpu and 1 for the 2 gpus) if i use a 850w psu, and does the quality of the psu have to be in the £100 bracket as seems a tad too much for a PSU. would a £50 psu be enough.
 


No, don't cheap out on the heart of your PC.

In the UK? This is the best deal that meets your needs, £83.50:
