Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£50.36 @ Scan.co.uk)
Memory: PNY XLR8 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£37.88 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£41.99 @ Aria PC)

If you wanted to spend the extra £25, you could get either:

or

Better PSU for future Corsair 600M http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600m

It's nice to have headroom, but I think it's doable. The wattage estimator on pricepicker puts the full pc at ~300w so to be safe you could get a bigger PSU.
