How much are you willing to spend and what sort of level are you at (have you weight trained before) A cheap bench and a set of weights to keep a beginner going for a while will set you back around 150-200 quid.

I wouldn't bother with the flys.

If you want to get more serious and push yourself hard with the benching you're going to need a better bench plus a spotter and/or power cage for safety.
