What Power Supply should I get for my rig?

[Bestkid]

I am building a new rig and this is what I got:

Intel Core i5 3570K
Asus P8Z77-V LX
256GB Crucial RealSSD M4
1TB Western Digital WD10EZRX
2GB XFX Radeon HD 7870 Core Edition
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO


I still need some RAM (32 GB or 16GB) and a optical drive.

Also, can you please tell me if my config is good? I'm going to use it for Gaming. My budget is £800 and I'me already like £690 (not bought anything yet).

I would like to decrease the £690 to about £500 if you find me something better and cheaper (For example, the SSD, mobo, hard drive etc).

Also, my price range is £20-£60

Well your not gonna be overclocking on a motherboard like that.. So either drop of K chip and just get a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116505. Or spend a little more on a better board. And get 16GB of ram. 32Gb is overkill for most anything. and even 16GB isn't even fully utilized unless your running the programs that is known for ram usage

Now its made entirely of high quality parts.
I've halved the ram to 8GB.This will not decrease performance at all.
I've also downgraded the power supply to a 550W model, which is still plenty.
And now the good part.
I've upgraded the motherboard to a very good mid range model made by MSI.
Unlike the Asrock, this one does not have any VRM overheating issues.
I've upgraded the case.
And most importantly i've upgraded the graphics card to a much better HD 7870.
The one he chose gets really, really loud under load.And with the bad ventilation in the case he chose i can only imagine how bad it gets.
I have also included a good DVD drive.
