With a limited budget this is a decent setup. I just dont about the quality of the lamp and stand. The softbox and reflectors are fine. However i am worried you may find the stand and light disappointing with respect to quality once you finally get them. Have you considered getting a flash for your 450 and just using the softbox with that. Another cheaper DIY option is to build your own lightbox and use 3 desk lamps from walmart. Thats what i do for my ebay stuff.

And a few pieces of poster board, foam board, and light bulbs (100w)
Total setup would cost you about $40.. 25ish pounds and work very well for what you need, plus you don't need to deal with strobes, which if you don't know how to use properly, they will deliver poor results.
