That's £7 more than the one the OP picked and not as good unless you really need the extra wattage and the OP isn't even close to that looking at his spec, tis only for using a web browser and streaming Netfilx at the end of the day.
Check my Sandybridge build please :)

I did read the post and know what it is to be used for. The Corsair is a decent little Psu, but it is modular and has an extra years warranty.
Should he wish to add a Gpu or upgrade the Cpu, then the OP does`nt have to upgrade the Psu as well. And we all know how kid`s interests change very quickly.
But at the end of the day these are just suggestions and it is what the OP decides on that really matters.
I would change the mobo to this:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £75.98
Total : £75.98 (includes shipping : FREE).
This means later if you want to, you can slap in a better CPU like an i3 or an i5. Overall for that price the D3H range is more common. However you can easily get a cheaper motherboard as other posters have said and up it a G860, this will give you a better benefit now but makes it a little less future proof. Or get an extra £70 and get a trinity build, which will be capable of playing the latest cames atm with decent graphics.
YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD A10-5800K Black Edition 3.80GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor (AD580KWOHJBOX) £97.99
1 x Intel 330 Series 60GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - Retail £59.99
1 x Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2 AMD A55 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £49.99
1 x GeIL EVO Leggera 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GEL38GB1600C9DC) £35.99
1 x Antec VP350P 350W '80 Plus' Continuous Power Supply £32.99
Total : £276.95 (includes shipping : FREE).
Contact your ISP, request a router (each ISP has there own router) which will come with a USB Wireless adapter, sell the Router on. You can pick up cheap disc drives else where, just boot windows from a USB.

Ended up ordering the spec below for him which I think is a good compromise. He uses the Xbox for gaming so this build is never going to be pushed too hard. He's a little limited with only a 60GB SSD but I can always fit a HDD for storage at a later date. I have a Gelid Tranquillo which im going to use to keep the noise down and for added peace of mind as the Intel push pin system has always been a bit hit and miss for me 
Thanks for all the help guys
