Why you are going so high on the wattage?

Corsair "750W" could be anything. Same with the 650W. Some of those are great, other models much less so. Can't say yay or nay without knowing more. Again, I'm running a similar system on a 450W, so you don't need to get a 750W. More wattage doesn't mean better quality.

It's a 200W card, so a PSU in the 450-500W range should work fine. I'm running my 3770K and 225W 7950 off of a 450W unit. The difference is your PSU was junk while mine is one of the highly rated Superflower Leadex PSUs.

I always have the OP do some legwork, what PSUs are available to you in the 450-550W range at your budget?

Okay so I looked a bit I stretched my budget to £60,
Corsair 750w for £60, Corsair 650w for £47, also been suggested the xfx p1 650w for £60-ish, do these psu have pci-e 8?
In the details they say pci-e 6x2 am guessing this is okay for the GPU and my rig as a whole?
