It's a little over over £400 but I think it's worth it and should run most games 1080p med/high no problem.

Memory:  Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  (£56.45 @ Ebuyer) 
Storage:  Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (£39.98 @ Aria PC) 
Video Card:  Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card  (£144.00 @ Amazon UK) 
Power Supply:  EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  (£37.63 @ Amazon UK)
