New V Quiet power supply

[TiM!]

Hi guys,

Just got home from work and fired up the PC. My CX600 began making a horrible grinding noise that seems to be the fan. I've stopped it for now by tapping it really carefully

Looking for a replacement that has to be very quiet in terms of coil whine (I hate that sound) and fan.

Need around 600W and budget is up to £120

Rig has a 2500K at stock clock and a 7850 that might be upgraded soon.

Looking at seasonics but I've not really been paying much attention to PSU's since I built this rig in early 2012.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tim

Seems well known for being nice and silent

The RM's are very quiet, to the point of silent really I never heard mine at all, the 750, that was with 2 7950's and an i5 4670k.

Good shout I rather like mine although it's pretty overkill for a 760 so it quite predictably makes no noise, ever.

Gives me a bit of room to upgrade the card when GTA V drops on PC. Now the ultimate question,

Fan up or down? Guessing it won't really matter as most of the time it won't be spinning anyway

Obviously up it's much prettier than the sticker is! And yeah it never spins, sometimes it's fun to play the 'can my overclock make the fan spin' game.

Aaaaaand now I can hear how loud my graphics card is. So it begins
