I would say no, they're only budget PSUs bundles with the case. I would condider spending a little more on something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-073-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160

i'll be honest, it's too big, will use the PC on the breakfast bar.

what about the shuttle SS31T?

thanks

Shuttle PSUs are good but I don't know how a 250w one will handle that kind of system (the graphics card being the main worry). Have you thought about getting a SFF case and a separate PSU or would this be over your budget?

A Silverstone Sugo SG-02 can be had for about £55 and paired with a Corsair 450w VX should do a very nice job.

Sugo looks good but too wide

Lian Li g50/v600/A-05

G50 is also about £55, only 210mm wide though compared to 270mm.
