Hi Tigerwood and welcome.

I will assume from your links that you live in the UK so if anyone comes in with more suggestions, they need to keep that in mind.

I live in the US, so can't help much. You did say the purpose of this machine will be gaming, but you also need to set a budget. I will say this, do not try to cut corners on cost by buying a cheap power supply. A quality supply from a reputable maker is essential for stable operation so the PSU is one of the more critical purchasing decisions. However, it must be one of last too because you need to size your PSU based on the power requirements of the other components, in particular the CPU and graphics solution.
