Why is he going to have to get finance?
That with maybe a Gigabyte board (better UK based warranty) and the Bequiet PSU (four PCI-E connectors) will be ace
I have the Bequiet L8 630W unit and im very impressed with it. I remember the review saying it made it to 701W before it's gracefully shut down. The 730W unit can only be better still I did use the GB mobo earlier bud
I should have said about GBs UK based RMA and the 3 year warranty true. Although this brings us onto Beejs spec (Hey Beej) nicely.
The EVGA 670 is cheaper than Beejs choice but has a 3 year warranty. The KFA2 card only has 2 years but is clocked higher. You are paying extra for it's dual fans is the real difference but you are losing a years warranty over the EVGA.
Not knocking Beejs suggestion at all here btw, I think they are nice looking machines

The 670 (as stulid showed in his link) quite frankly is a much better GPU. It's a cut down 680 but they trimmed off very lil fat so to speak. The 7850 is popular because it has 2GB of VRAM and overclocks very well, the spec i did before was Xfire capable if you had wanted to add a 2nd 7850 much later on.

Another good white case. The Z77 mobo does do SLI/Xfire it has THX rated onboard audio so no need for a soundcard really. If style appeals to you then you might like the gold caps and styling of the mobo.
I chose the CM 700W PSU both times to show it can Xfire two 7850s or is more than enough for any single GPU setup. It's modular and the same price as it's 600W lil bro pretty much. For £65 it ticks a lot of boxes, to SLI the 670 you are going to need a lil more power realistically.
I included a closed loop cooler as you considered one. This is a place where you can save some cash. The H-100 is considered to be the ideal closed loop cooler to use, although you could use an air cooler for around £30 and still achieve a good overclock
Not the cheapest cooler but will peform well and again it's wether you like the style/look of it
I look forward to seeing what you decide on. Any chance of a build log? With lots of pretty pics?
Sorry if im being a bit of a pain for £1200 pound i just want to get everything right and what im looking for
You could consider exploiting the free P&P and do the build in small installments. It sounds like faff because it is but this way you can grab parts that are on offer as the weeks go by. In regards to the RAM i used the patriot RAM as it looked good with the mobo and happened to be cheaper than the other brands (sorry it wasnt blue). I don't think it's low profile RAM though, so the stock heatsink would be fine and a waterblock as well. If you use aftermarket aircoolers you might find it difficult to fit over the RAM, so if you want the blue look to the RAM then the LP vengeance RAM has the looks and practicality. 
Hows it all looking now.
