Not the greatest build.
Case is poor, the F1s are pretty mediocre now with the 640GB Blacks and 7200.12s on the market, the G41 is a very budget HTPC-esque chipset, you haven't specified why you need the Q6600, Antec PSUs minus the Earthwatts are frequently mediocre, and I suppose the RAM is alright. I would do P182/640GB WD/P45-UD3L/Q6600/4870/HX520/that RAM.

And a British price would be on that? Not looking to spend much more than I have there.
I need quad core because I do a lot of encoding music and videos and the speed would make things go a bit faster and they're not bad for gaming either. I'm looking for 1Tb of space cos I am terrible at deleting things and using up space, everything I delete it turns out I need.. |

It shouldn't be any more.
Typically for the price of an F1 you can usually get two 500GB 7200.12s.

Just seen an 850W SLi ready power supply by NorthQ for a good price (Around £60) and was wondering if the NorthQ PSU will burst into flames the second I go near it or will it be good for my PC?

It will, sorry.
If it's not Corsair/PC P&C/Seasonic you're either getting a poor deal or it's gonna blow up. Your build could technically go on a 400CX but I'd imagine it's probably a good idea to give a bit of headroom for efficiency purposes, which is why I usually suggest the 520HX.
