personally ive uses these psu's and i don't see it giving too much power, i check the temp frequently and all seems to be okay (using the 780w as of this moment), am I right for me to cary on using?

The fact that you're using it now doesn't mean it's a quality unit or that it won't fail. You have a high-end build and you're skimping on the power supply. Don't do that, ever.

I highly doubt that thing could get anywhere close to 780w output possibly 500w tops. I have had a cheap 35pound no name PSU fry a 200pound graphics card before and if I just spent a bit more on a quality one that most likely would have never happened.

So is it really worth saving 60pounds on not buying a quality PSU? You could lose more than you save in the end.

anyone reccomend one for 50 pound?

This one is a bit cheaper, and only 1 pound postage I think.
