Hi, Right I've come to the conclusion that my PSU isn't cutting it and I'm in need of buying a new one, now I'm not an expert on buying PSUs I've got a general idea of what's alright and what's not but I don't know the finer details, that's why I've come to you. The Experts. I know it's alot to ask and I have done my research already but could if you have the time could I get a few people to list their top 3 PSUs with teh following requirements

Must have 2 PCIe connectors (SLi certified basically)
must be a minimum of 700w
Good quality
Maximum price is £150
as many 4pins as possible.
UK price and UK websites only please.

I've decided that as everything else in my system is top of the line (almost) it's time I got the power supply top of the line as well

This is my list (in no order)

Why must the power supply be a minimum of 700 watts?
It would help if you list the rest of your components and tell us what you will be doing with your system. Are you a hardcore gamer into serious overclocking and mutiple video cards?

700W PSU may be overkill, unless you are doing SLI or XFire.

My recommended brands are (in order of preference)

1. Seasonic
2. PC Power & Cooling (some made by Seasonic)
3. Corsair (some made by Seasonic)
4. Enermax
5. Antec
6. Fortron (FSP)
