I'd personally spend more of his money of a 256GB SSD

I'd also wait to see what the 660Ti does and maybe look at two of these in SLI v the 670 single card given you're going to be gaming in only medium res because of the 120Hz requirement.

It's not about the price of the PSU, it's the quality. Read Monotype's PSU guide if you're unsure.

If it's in Maplin it's twice as expensive as buying it of the most expensive supplier online and you will get what you pay for.
