Im building a new rig in the next few weeks and wanted to get some advice on a suitable PSU and power usage. My system will be the following spec

Q6600 Processor
4gb DDR RAM (2x 2gb)
ATI 4850 Graphics Card
1x Optical
5x S-ATA

The case I am looking at will have the minimum of LED fans inside so I want to get a PSU that will handle the power needed for the above components but I dont want to be going over the top in terms of spend. Ideally I don't want to go above £50-£60 (Less if I can help it). In my current rig I have an OCZ Gamer series 550watt that has powered a Conroe, 4gb RAM, same opticals and S-ATA's and an 8800GT so I would have no issues with getting one of them again.

My only consideration would be if I wanted to add maybe 2 more sticks of RAM. I don't anticipate going crossfire or SLI anywhere in the near future.
