    Thanks guys.
    How about something like this?

    Quad Rail 850W Gaming Power Supply Unit For PC 850W PSU | eBay UK
    If you can stretch it a bit more I would go for this.

    Corsair Builder Series CX 500W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-500CXUK) [CMPSU-500CXUK]

    As others have said, don NOT take a chance on a cheap power supply, they just can't handle it. I paid £229.99 for mine and its money well spent.

    Good choice. And from looking around a bit can be had for a few ££ less,

    Corsair TX 650W V2 PSU - 80plus Bronze Certified | Ebuyer.com

    Corsair TX 650W V2 ATX2.31 80 PLUS® Bronze Power Supply

    Would 650w be enough considering I have a phenom ii x4 processor?

    Assuming you buy a quality PSU, that's certified it MIGHT be enough. Honestly I would get a minimal of 700ws, but that's just me.

    With that video card and I assume you are going to play some games I wouldn't settle for less than a certified 700w psu.

    Unless you have a bunch of stuff, like six or seven hard drives, a good 650W power supply should be fine. I second the recommendation of corsair

    lol No, my old GPU was using the 380w PSU and when I bought my new GPU I also replaced my PSU (with a cheap one that died ).
