Looks like a decent PSU which retails around £70 on Amazon. Add a small item (e.g. from office supplies) to nudge the total over £49.99 for free delivery.
Gigabyte 700W Bronze PSU
Modular Design
The black flat cables are modular. Installing only the cables you need to increase the airflow and to improve the chassis thermal performance.
High Quality Japanese Electrolytic Capacitors
Main electrolytic capacitors are high quality Japanese electrolytic capacitors, to produce the efficient performance and to ensure the longer reliability.
120mm Smart Control Fan
120mm cooling fan with smart control system optimizes the noise reduction and the performance. The fan speed is adjusted according to the automatic power detection. The ball bearing fan provides longer and more stable life time.
80 Plus Bronze Certified
80 Plus certified ensures the better power efficiency. Less power waste reduces the heat and fan noise.
Single +12V Rail
Single +12V rail provides the best power output, stability and compatibility for the hardware. And it is the best design for overclocking.

It's semi modular but heat

This is of course technical true, but surely every computer build will have the Mobo and CPU connectors. Might make it a bit harder to install or swap out the supply but that's about it.

5 year warranty! HOT!
Can't find reviews but can't be bad. Good brand. Bronze rated. Long warranty.
Will be more than fine for my media server with loads of room to grow.
I think I'll go for this over the Coolermaster G550M I had in my basket for a tenner more.
Save your money and buy a low end EVGA unit and spend the extra £20-30 on a RX 470 cos the 1050Ti is crap value.

I have just waded through some reviews on mainly Korean websites. The foam packaging looks to a similar standard as my EVGA power supplies came in, which is encouraging. Some of the soldering and cable management within the review unit samples seemed a bit variable, visually, but the reviews seemed fairly consistent and, encouragingly, I couldn't find any mention of choke buzz or coil whine in any of the reviews.
The review on the website "i2hard" seemed to me representative of most of the other reviews I read:-
" Pros:
A good level of efficiency up to 88% of the maximum;
Wide input voltage range (important for Russian networks);
Part of a modular cable design;
Flat cables with soft locks on collapsible stocks;
High-quality assembly and painting of the hull;
High-quality circuitry;
Japanese smoothing capacitor;
voltage deviation does not exceed 3%;
A sufficient number of connectors;
Fan double ball bearing;
Quiet operation to load 500 W;
Ability to connect the two graphics cards;
Components, good packaging;
5-year warranty;
Affordable price.
Minuses:
Using Su'scon capacitors;
cable set is not as declared;
noise rise at a load of more than 500 watts. "
Several sites remarked that at 20% of capacity it came close to a silver rating, rather than bronze. Most remarked that up to 500 watts it was quite quiet, with it being very quiet up to 250 watts but quite noisy if total system draw is over 500 watts.
It seems to be £10 cheaper than Novatech, which was the next cheapest I could find. Have some more heat.

I don't know why they've bothered using a single quality Japanese cap for the filter Capacitor (the least likely to fail in a power supply regardless of quality) and filled the secondary side with cheap Su'scon and Tepo - questionable at best. Its cheap but if I were using it with expensive hardware I'd spend more and pay for a Seasonic built unit.

Only benefit is for those who cut/sleeve their own cables or buy custom length cables for everything. I have a fully modular PSU but as of yet I can't bring myself to shell out 15GBP-25GBP on a single cable when the whole 80+ Gold 750W PSU cost me 80GBP
I was looking at an i7-6800K with Asus X99 II motherboard, what motherboard would I be looking for if I went for the top AMD Ryzen (is it X1800?) which is comparatively cheap to even the i7-6950K behemoth?

Mind you, one of the few things a search throws up is that the Coolermaster G450M is CWT GPK series too:

and
https://tweakers.net/productreview/111040/cooler-master-b600-ver2.html
So, for a tenner less it seems you get the same OEM and platform but in 700W vs 550W. No idea how either of them are for warranty though.
Heck even a 250w can probably handle it
