£650 is hardly a "budget" build. Given the other components selected I don't think either of those PSUs are off the wall suggestions... On the other hand, anything 400W upwards will do the job: just don't buy generic / value PSUs as you've no guarantee what you're getting. Some work fine, but some just blow up! Budget PSUs really are a false economy.
