I was thinking of buying this PSU:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-silverstone-strider-essential-non-modular-80-plus-bronze-1x120mm-fan-atx-psu


The Silverstone ST60F Strider Essential. So this is a 600w and just under the budget I need for a PSU, I was just wondering whether this is good or if there are any better then this?

To be honest, I've never built a PC... This is my first time although I'm not a complet noob :p. Here are my specs: (Total Watts = 550w-600w [To be on the safe side I rather get 600w or 650w])

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition (Will overclock to 4.5GHz or 5.0GHz, depending on how well the PSU is)
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce 3x R9 280x Rev2.0
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw Series 8GB DDR3
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper-Evo 212

That's a good choice but I recommend getting this instead: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-power-supply-fdpsuin2b650w
It has 50 more watts (650w), it's 80+ Bronze Certified, and it's £43.98 @ SCAN. (Not including shipping and tax)

Hmm... I did a previous forum, quite similar to this and they did recommend the Fractal Design Integra R2, are you sure this will be solid for my PC... Especially having that GPU. I searched on Google "PSU Calculator" and tested 2. Both gave me quite similar answers of 550w-600w... Leaving me a headroom of +50w I will be able to overclock :) I also don't mind whether it's Non/Modular as my case is not see through :) Thank you

If you have 2, you need at least 750w. If you have one, the recommendation is 600w.
