A build without a graphics card will never need a 750W PSU. So if you don't have plans to add a graphics card or lots of HDDs in the future then you could get the lowest wattage unit which is still high quality that you can find.

Such as this:
Huntkey Jumper 300G £37 80Plus Gold

Thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on any hardcore gaming and was leaving the option open for adding a discrete graphics card later. Will deffo go for less power though, a lot cheaper.
