Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - Retail - £151.99

Asus P7P55D Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard - £118.99

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) - £92.99

Total - £363.97

However you didn't ask for any certain motherboard spec so I went for a lower model that does support crossfire.
