PSU Shootout...
OK so when I was young and naive I bought a Coolermaster 550w GX Series because all I saw was the green marketing gimmicks. It has failed me after 3 or 4 years, not that impressive really...
So I want something to replace it that will last a good 5 + years.
I am looking at these:
Be Quiet! 600w

This one I'm a little less sure of. Prices vary wildly for the G-series, but there's a good deal on this Alza site, elsewhere it's more expensive.

Also I am curious if I can get away with another 550w? Or should I get 650w to be safe? The 550w isn't cheaper on UK sites, but it is cheaper on some German sites.

I don't intend to overclock, but it's a possibility in the future? Very unlikely
I want to record guitar/vocals maybe podcasts, so being some what quiet is quite important
I don't want to replace it again in two years, even if that means paying a little more.
I have a budget of about £65-70 max. Maybe I can push to £75 but not so keen.
