What is the system going to be used for?

 

[WorserGeorge]

I'm doing an art and animation course for Train2game and I need it for Photoshop and 3dmax

How about this?
Antec High Current Gamer HCG520 80Plus Bronze £60
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-147-AN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=
built by Seasonic, based on the S12II Bronze design, which is tried and tested.

If you wanted a modular one, how about the CoolerMaster Silent Pro M 600W, 80Plus Bronze Modular: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-166-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat= £69.

Either of these will be absolutely plenty for your build, unless perhaps you want to add another GTX 460 down the line, but I don't see why you'd want to do that unless you're also going to game with this machine.

And will these connect to the Graphics card to power it?

 

[RJC]

Yes
