Will the PSU in this built be suitable?

Yes, it has more than enough of the cables you need. Are you planning to sli? It's quite overkill otherwise.

No I'm not planning to SLI. Should I go for a 550 instead? It's only £3 cheaper.

Thanks for your help

A decent 500w is already more than enough: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx500m

The RM series isn't bad--just overpriced and advertised as higher end than it really is.

This is nearly £40 cheaper, but has the option to SLI. This is a more sensible purchase. Even if you don't plan to SLI, the option is there. What's more the PSU you chose originally is more expensive than this one, and that one only has 2 6+2 pins for GPUs, so unless you chose 2 cards with a single 8 pins slot SLI is impossible. You didn't include an SSD or CPU cooler, so I did.
