No.

Get a PSU from a reputable maker.

If your on that much of a budget, this is the minimum - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-042-BQ&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1083

I have seen contrasting views on how good the OcUK PSUs are and whether they should be touched but when you are getting a 650W PSU for £26, it seems a little too good to be true that it would be a worthwhile purchase.
If I was you I would spend an extra £15 and be safe with this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-042-BQ&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1083

EDIT:STULID!!!

But I was a WHOLE 2 minutes behind. As soon as I read it I thought bequiet 530W, searched for it and posted. I couldn't have gone any faster and he STILL beat me
