Re: Recommend a Quiet PSU
Your budget is going to constrain you I'm afraid.
My best recommendation for you for a solid unit which is quiet and modular is the Xigmatek NRP-MC651 it is a 650W unit (which is much more than you need) but has >80% efficiency over ~100W load which most PC's will idle above, it is very quiet up to about 350W load which is less than you will be drawing for a duel core system with a single graphics card. The best thing is the price Scan have it (currently pre-order, contact them for when they expect some in) for £57 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/650W-...2-QUAD-SLI-PSU.
Here are a couple of reviews to look at,

The other decent modular PSU's from Corsair, Enermax, Be Quiet, Seasonic and the like are going to be setting you back £65+ for a 450W unit.
If you decide not to go modular the same brands listed above will have some thing in the same wattage range for ~£55.
Re: Recommend a Quiet PSU
I thought I was being a bit optimistic with the price....
Thanks for the suggestion, that looks interesting. From lurking here and reading reviews I've been thinking to get a Corsair HX520W which is about £80 on scan, so any suggestions between £50 and £80 would be helpful.

A mix of payday upgrade fever and laziness saw me pony up for the Corsair.
Cheers guys.
