Default Advice needed on first time tyre change?

I've just got my bike and need to replace the back tyre, this is the first time though I have a bike with spokes and that will need an inner tube so I'm looking for help picking out the right parts so I can get this done pretty straight forward.

It's a forty eight 2015 and I'm doing the rear wheel for now so I'll be to get the correct inner tube and I think rim band? The tyre is easy but I'm not sure on the inner tube or rim band, my tyre valve is coming out at 45 degrees and looks offset?

Does anyone know the cortube I'll need and width of rim band? I'm based in the UK

Thanks

Thanks I'll have a search, I think I might of found one that might be suitable, I guess it's best to change the tube and rim band while your doing the new tyre in case it comes back to bite you lol
