me and Adam both linked some. If i were you i'd go with whatever fits in your budget really (if you aren't going with that go with the Seasonic/EVGA unit. Overall slightly more reputable in the power delivery area.). The quality across PSU's isn't such a major difference in reality. Rating does play a key role though.

For 100 quid? No, not really. Some of the older yellow label Corsair RM PSU's were pretty low quality, but the grey label ones are all fine AFAIK.

If it were me, I'd be looking to spend around 80 quid on PSU probably, with one of these;
Riotoro Enigma G2
Seasonic Prime Snow

850W is completely unnecessary but the 850W Enigma G2 is cheaper than lower wattage variants right now. The Enigma G2 is a Seasonic PSU, pretty sure it's based on the "Focus Plus Gold" units.

So if you're actually buying now, either of those 2 would be my choice. However, if you're not buying now, prices will change and your best options will be different as pricing/availability changes. The EVGA G2/G3 units are good, as well as Seasonic Focus and AFAIK, Corsair RM(x).
