I like to keep hexus happy by pretending their reviews are gospel to me.

Here is a gaming PC for £600 from a recent computer publication minus keyboard, mouse, monitor etc...

Athlon 64 3000+

£100

MSI K8N Neo4-F

£75

Kingston PC3200 1GB

£70

XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB

£105

SB Audigy 2 Value

£30

Hitachi Deskstar 7K80

£35

Antec Performance TX 640B + PSU

£70

Windows XP Home OEM

I'd fiddle with that as it's currently £565, probably change the mobo for one with integrated sound and ditch the sound card and reduce the RAM price.
