What 1200W power supply

Do you really need 1200w?
Don't mind me if you do, but a lot of people don't understand the basic power consumption on computers, and in a lot of cases, some high end PC's only pull up to around 400w. it's only with 2-3 high end gpus that 1200w is needed.
like i said though, if you do need it, sorry, just pointing out. :)

How about bequiet?

just seen you have "2x gtx 460 1 ssd 1 hdd haf x case mobo p8p67 deluxe i7 2600k"
i'm sure that would perform better with a lower wattage psu (to get the best efficiency)
a good 750-800w should suffice.

One of the reviewers for the BeQuiet states that BeQuiet now have UK support.

No OcUK reviews on the Antec.

Firstly I hope you are not going off the random comments of some random person instead of a tried and tested review site?

Secondly Bequiet RMA goto German or Netherlands, cant remember which but its £30 either way to send a heavy PSU.

If it's for 2x 580's then u don't need a 1200w psu, so this would do.
Or if u wanted headroom any decent 1000w is plenty.
The price range u have is not really enough for a decent quality 1200w other than the "king of coil whine" ZX 1250w :P
