ok...

option: http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=860634

option: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=19869

either of these seem good enough for your system, and scan does do VERY quick deliver like order before 3pm and next day delivery

Brands to go for: Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, Silverstone.

I myself have a Thermaltake which has been good to me.

PSU, it's mostly about brand. The ones listed above have served many other members on here very well.
