Welcome to OCN! Thanks for filling in the system specs Of those PSU's that you linked to, I would go with the OCZ. The Hiper would be good too, but OCZ's are known for their quality. It's also the one in stock....haha

What kind of budget do you have for both things? I could try finding something a bit more suitable.

Also, what do you plan doing with it?

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

Finally managed to get the funding for the power supply. I ave the graphics card sitting on my desk waiting to be put in. I went to order the psu to find it not there anymore.

Could anyone recomend me a psu from www.overclockers.co.uk

I am unsure on which one to get. Im not happy about getting a hiper as i have heard a few rumours about them failing.

My Budget is about £65 to £70.

Thankyou and you help will be much appreciated

£76 is a little over your budget but I recommend the OCZ GameXStream 600W or higher

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...123&subcat=148

I have had to send that exact graphics card due to artifacting so be careful.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with immoral giant. The only others that I could feel confident about suggesting are the Corsair PSU's. I've heard nothing but good about those.
