I hope to overclock this a bit is this combo good enough? Any other suggestions within a £450 budget.

Any particular reason for the DS4? You don't appear to want Crossfire so I might pick the DS3R which is cheaper and supports DDR2 + DDR3.

I'd change the CPU to the 4300 as it has more cache and overclocks nicely as well.
