And you'd trust £500+ worth of equipment on a £20 PSU? why cut corners and the thing that powers it all.

Why the AMD rather than Intel?
With Russ on the PSU, no point cutting corners there. Although saying that i've got a £90 Corsair PSU that went pop (showered the system in sparks and smoke), overclockers did replace it outside the years warranty though.
