Just buy/use a UK 'kettle lead'...

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

That says to me the lead that connects to the mains.

Just use any UK kettle-type lead.

what??? im confused now 

The power lead is detachable and plugs into the back of the psu as is normal. So just buy the ok version of the cable and use that. it shows right there in multiple pictures that it is disconnected.

Standard kettle leads are rated for up to 3000 watts.

i have a kettle lead in my current build its for a prebuilt about 180w PSU in it would that be sufficient 

Yes... it's the PSU that does the work.

 

A 600w PSU only needs a 3 amp fuse (in the mains lead) which a 180w PSU would be more than happy with, too..
