No.

12V is too weak, 3.3/5V are too strong, signifying it to be an old ATX 1.3 design built for old heavy 5V based systems. HEC is only average quality to begin with - I wouldn't trust it for long.

Junk!

You have far better options in the UK.

Antec:
Corsair:
Delta Electronics
Etasis
Enermax:
PC P&C:
Seasonic:
Seventeam
Silverstone:
Zalman
Zippy/Emacs

Even our lower tier brands offer some good PSU's.

Akasa
CWT
Fortron (FSP) (Sparkle)
iStarUSA
OCZ
Tagan
Xcilo

Please post your complete system specs.

Always Build with the Best!

With a highend system running a single GTX260, with NO OC'ing a "Recommend" PSU with a max combined of about +12V@40A will be fine.
