Hey guys, title says it all. Here are some specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte, GA-H61M-USB3-B3 (Manual says ATX_12V/ATX (2x2 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)
Processor: Intel Pentium G840, 2.80Ghz
GPU: MSI R6770-MD1GD5
Case: http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_Specification.aspx?id=c_00001662

I have checked power calculator websites and the recommended minimum wattage is 280-300W. I am not sure what kind of power supply I need, my budget is 40-60 quid. If you guys could recommend me one or help me figure out what I NEED to look at when deciding which PSU to buy, I'd be really grateful.

Cheers

AMD says a minimum of 450 watts is reccomended for the HD 6770, so let's start there. I'm gonna recommend this power supply, as it has 80+ gold, is fully modular, and has more than enough power for your pc.

When deciding on a PSU to buy, you need to look at if it has 80+ rating (efficency rating), if it is modular/semi modular (cables can come out of PSU if not in use, reduces clutter in case), if it fits your case (almost ATX PSUs fit in most ATX cases), and overall price.(if you are on a budget).
