The HP NC8430 comes in well below your budget and is a business class notebook with a free 3 year warranty so its guaranteed to last you the three years:

Also check out uk.zepto.com and take a look at the 6214W and 6615WD for two great gaming notebooks.
The Asus W3J is worth looking at as well although it is pricey it oozes quality and style. The only problem is that the UK models are fitted with a, frankly pathetic 4200RPM HDD which is the type of part you'd get in a budget notebook not a high end one.
If you must buy offline then you're going to have some serious trouble as finding a decently powered and portable gaming notebook on the UK high street is very difficult. Prices are also ridiculously inflated as well.
