PSU Advice

[Metalboz]

I am about to start building my first rig and would like some advice on choosing a reliable PSU.

Here is the spec of the future build:

Case: Corsair 600t

Board: Z77 Sabertooth

CPU: 3570K when released

GPU: EVGA 680

RAM: 2 x 4GB Mushkin 1600MHz CL8

SSD: Crucial M4 128GB

HDD: Caviar Green 2TB

CPU Cooling: Corsair H100

I have a budget of up to £130 (but around £80 would be better!) for the PSU and want something reliable for OC and not running at the top end of its capacity all the time.

Was looking at the Corsair AX850 for features and stability but also the XFX 750 XXX edition stood out to me.

What do people recommend? Im not restricting myself to just these 2 PSUs either so any suggestions welcome

AX850 has never given me an issue, I'm not too well informed on XFX PSUs though

So many people swear by the corsair PSUs you may as well go with it. "Tried and tested" an all that... I have a HX750w and it's given me no problems, stays cool and thanks to the built in dust filter for the PSU on the 600t it stays nice and dust free

Yeah, think I will end up going for the AX850, at least I know it will be there for if I want to add a second GPU
