i can not change it in this build case the power supply is a part of a "kit" and comes with all the other stuff ... but i will consider buying another one later... and ps: is there a risk of these crappy power supplies frying out something?

Swap it out in the case....

Get the Western Digital 1TB Black series instead. Choose another case and psu because Ultra isn't that good. Some brands I recommend getting for the PSU are Corsair, Antec, and PC Power & Cooling.

I was gonna say that, but he's also including a monitor + keyboard + mouse... £750 is about... $1200 USD? Something like that. Add $300ish for monitor, mouse, and keyboard and you're up to $1500. I guess if you REALLY look hard you could build one for... $1400, but $1200 is kinda low imo. I recently built a comparable computer, tad lower in processor specs (not an i7, not DDR3) and without monitor, keyboard, mouse, and not counting cost of the processor I came to about $700 USD.
