your gonna have to look at some competitor sites and pickup any special deals. right now you could get a:
Casecom generic case
Casecom 400W PSU
MSI 870 c45
AMD Phenom X2 555 3.2 GHz which you can easily unlock to 4 core with the above mobo
Sapphire Radeon 5850
500GB HDD
4GB RAM 1333MHz
DVD RW
All this for around £330 including shipping, its a very very good deal much better than anyone from ocuk can spec but you'll just have to put it in google and you'll have to find the sites yourself as it is against the forum rules for me to post the links

since your friend is moving to Uni i can guarantee he can get an operating system cheaper from his uni than he can from here.
something like this should suit you nicely
*edit*
oops, thought you said £450.
OcUK will be fine for this though

here we go. nice little gaming rig here.
do you think you could stretch your budget to £365?
(if not, replace the processor with the cheapest AMD athlon tri core, or the graphics card with the ATI 5830 and you should be in budget)
YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 Extreme 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **OcUK Exclusive** £124.99
1 x AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 640 3.00GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail £71.99
1 x Cooler Master Elite 430 Windowed Case - Black (with 500w Elite Power PSU) £64.99
1 x MSI GF615M-P33 GeForce 6150SE (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard £32.99
1 x OCZ Platinum 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (OCZ3P1333LV4GK) £29.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500413AS) £28.99
Total : £366.54 (includes shipping : £10.50).
this one comes with a decent PSU, unlike the casecom one, and a quad core version of the dual core processor thats in the casecom build. its probably a nicer case too
*edit*
if you buy today go for this RAM:

faster ram for the same price
