I'm making my first gaming build and wasn't sure what to put in it. Gonna be playing games like BF4 at 1080p. My budget is £600. Please don't include any storage or OS as I already have those sorted. Thanks!

No, 650w would do just fine. I wouldn't recommend going any lower than that with the R9 290.

The reason I picked the SuperNOVA NEX is that it's cheaper than most 650w units, while being of decent quality.

I just looked at the list, the Tier 3 one doesn't mention the NEX part. I assumed the Tier 2B one is the PSU I picked.
