If the 465 can definitely be unlocked to a 470, would it still be best to pick a 460?

Even for a 7 year warranty the price can not be justified.
The high end CoolerMaster GX 650W PSU can be had for £60 and the CoolerMaster GX 750 can be had for £70 and you get a 5 year warranty.
Its very unlikely you'd want to keep a PSU for a full 7 years anyways.
These components are nothing special, its not like you're running a quad fire or tri-SLI configuration, you could easy buy a 550W £50 corsair or antec and you'd be fine and route the extra money into a better video card or CPU.

I would get a cheaper quality PSU and route the rest of the money on a ATI 5850.
From what I read its only the sample GTX 465s that were sent out to reviewers that unlock to 470s.
