    Ok, I may have got it now(?):

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz (Q6600) - £144.51
    With the intention of overclocking:
    Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra 120 with 120mm Scythe S-FLEX fan & Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - £42.02
    Hope I've not missed anything there.
    PSU: 620W Corsair HX - £85.41 LN15215
    Mobo: Asus P5N-T Deluxe, 780i - £142.4 LN21112
    I want to use a SLi mobo in case I get a second card.
    Graphics Card(s): 512MB MSI 9600GT - £120.43
    Memory: 4GB (2x1Gb) Corsair Twin X XMS2 DHX 4-4-4-12 (800) - £78.46

    First Total: £964.49
    Second Total: £960.41
    This Total: £906.82

    can i recommend the bfg 9600? its £5 cheaper and has a much longer warranty (10years here).

    Wouldnt spend £140 on an sli board, buy a cheaper sli board (under 100 imo) or just a single slot.

    go with the thermalright ultra 120 extreme, has better cooling and is the same size (i think it costs a little bit more). also i'd be tempted to get 2 noctua p-12's in push-pull on the TRU120E instead of the s-flex.
    the power supply is vvv nice (i have one myself, im also getting a TRU120E with noctua p-12s)

    i dont get what your saying with memory 4Gb (2*1Gb) if you are going 4Gb obviously make sure you get a 64 bit O/S
