Something like this, you could go more on it but this is what i would consider the cheapest to get high quality and good fps. Do you want any cheaper as that is still possible?

If you tell us how much you are aiming to spend then i could get a better idea

Seems OK, but for the PSU.
 
Cheap and Nasty.

Cheap chinese caps.

Though they do have good protection circitry so shouldn't take the PC out with it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND i'm running one right now... I'll remember to choose something else next time. I had no idea about what to pick a few months ago. Atleast i didn't get a ocuk swift which i was thinking about..
 
Yeah just realised i didnt put a dvd drive on the spec, but as you say you can pick one up cheap anyway. A better cpu and gpu would be better, but the OP only wanted to spend around the £450 mark. The above spec will run BF3 on med settings.
Also the op could change to an i5 and better gpu in the future.
