What motherboard do you currently have? No point spending £120 just for a colour scheme.

I don't mind spending £120 on a colour scheme as I'll second hand market my current for a quick £70 or so.

Of the 3 which would you say will be the best reliability. I am thinking the corsair.

The Corsair is made by Seasonic. I think I am right in saying it is based on the Seasonic 'X' series. As long as you don't get one that suffers from coil whine then it would be the obvious choice (7 yr warranty and fully modular).
 
i thought the corsair RMA involved having to post your broken stuff to the netherlands, whereas seasonic is uk based. I recently had a corsair TX 750 fail after 2 years and 3 months
 
Yeah I know but in regards to customer service it's immediate attention and a good response that matters, sucks to post internationally... but I assume it costs a lot to purchase a site in the UK and a few extra pounds in postage is something I can bare to live with.

How much would it be to send a PSU to the netherlands anyway? £12?
 
I think it would be about 25 quid, and you'd be without a power supply for longer. I didn't bother RMA'ing mine I just bought a new one.
 
My previous Corsair AX850 failed under warranty, i had to return it to Holland which is at your own cost, that was £24.75 UPS via parcel2go. As the AX850 had been discontinued so they sent me a brand new AX860.

I didn't realise it would be such a fast turnaround, with needing a power supply fairly quickly i bought a Seasonic 760W Platinum fully modular, the turnaround with Corsair was within 5 working days. The returns side of things was superb and very easy, don't think a customer should have to pay £25 though to return it when its one of their products that has failed.
 
Sometimes you can get corsair to arrange a pickup. I also believe their forum rep posted something about making having a UK RMA centre in the future.

Just looking on the Parcel Force website, they do "Global Value" from £8.95 + VAT, which I think is a 3 - 5 day delivery to the Netherlands. Although it isn't fast it should be resonable (not sure on exact price, site won't load)
 
I just priced up my parcel on parcelforce, it's 3 kg and the dimensions are 30x28x18 and the price comes to £29 + vat. I don't think it's possible to send it for £12. I'd welcome someone proving me wrong as I have requested an RMA and I'm looking for the cheapest postage option.
