Default PSU Advice again

Hello forumites.

I decided to upgrade my components before buying them...

Anyways, my new components are listed below.
Ignore the HIPER as i don't plan to get that.

What is a good PSU to get?
I know about the OCZ 600W, but that's sold out and won't be around be a few weeks...

The Silverstone Zeus 560W, i'm thinking of but i want some more choices. I have a budget of about £90... $170...

Help please?

I don't understand, exactly what components are you upgrading?

Edit:. Ok the power supply. The "ordering" by the mobo threw me off.

If you mean this one:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=308044

That's about the best in this price range... a single 38A 12V rail. Very nice

Alternatives are the 500W Seasonic S12:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=256337

and the 500W Enermax Liberty:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=284213

but the Silverstone is my first pick

Thanks Chozart! You been quite patient with me!

The OCZ is sold out... which is damn annoying just when i was about to press ORDER!

I might take that Silverstone.

I read a topic on "Best PSUs within a price"
The Seasonic S12 seems good.

Can i have your reasons for choosing the Silverstone as first?
