Seeing as 'cheaper the better' is a criteria I will have to throw this in here: the Seasonic S12II Bronze based, Antec High Current Gamer HCG520 80plus Bronze £60: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-147-AN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=. Very high quality, well built, good efficiency, the only minus is that it isn't modular.

The other components you've selected look fine and I'll add my vote to the Antec Truepower 650W.

Thanks for the suggestions, looks like i will go with the Antec Truepower 650W.
and will probably go with the case as well.
