This is my part list.

I re- purposed the old PSU for another build and need a replacement. According to PCPartPicker it has 356 Watts with of parts. Some overclocking will be done, but nothing insane.

Can you suggest a value for money good PSU?

I prefer to buy from www.scan.co.uk, but if there is something much better not available, by all means let me know.

THANKS

Seasonic.

I have 2x EVGA 1200w here brand new.
One surges on shutdown.
The other was dead out of the box.

Ouch!

All my PSUs are Corsair, and no real complaints, mind you a 1500ax died on me, but RMA was good.

EVGA or Corsair, although I hear they are made my Seasonic and such.. But you dont need a big one with your current setup.. 450W is more than enough for your needs.

Not all new rebranded PSUs are the same as 7 years ago.
They aren't all super flower and seasonic under the hood anymore.
The 1200w I have are Leadtek.

The "dead" one fired up an hour ago but has coil whine at startup and shutdown.

I like Corsair's RMA, I guess I could past the problematic models back when I was herding white box x99 gear at a studio.
I think those were the RMi or something?
