For quite a while now I have been looking at what power supply to get for this basic office PC.

Specs:
i3 4150
8GB RAM
no GPU
ASUS H81 motherboard
1 SSD and two hard drives

I'm fairly certain I don't need much wattage at all, as it would only pull at most 150W from the wall. I'm just a bit confused as to what brands/models are reliable. I of course want the power supply to be quiet and be stable as long as possible.

My budget is around £40, though lower is better. I'd prefer if it was avalible on Overclockers.co.uk or Ebuyer.com since I get free delivery from them. I was at first looking at the Corsair 430W CX though it has mixed reviews. Over at overclockers theres a lot of postive posts about Superflowers, but I don't think I have ever heard of them?

Thanks!

The Corsair CX 430W is fine for your computer. I never heard of the superflowers brand earlier either, so can't really comment on that.

Super flower is the top most brand of PSu maker its stands side to side as seasonic the evga high quality B2 and G2 PSU are made by superflower .
The CX ,VS,CS and RM series of PSU of tier 3 quality but if you are not gaming and doesn't have a powerful GPU and also not overclocking then cx PSU is fine for you.
In your case any standard 350 - 400 watt PSU would be enough form any brand.
