Okay, I have put together a spreadsheet with PC parts that total up to £600. There are 2 estimates in the spreadsheet, a higher end one if I have more money, or a more budget based build that totals £600.
Link to a google doc's spreadsheet:

opinions? Thanks
Those are good builds but i wouldn't cheap out on your PSU.
Also if you want bang for your buck i would go with AMD.
The Antec 300 case is old and has no cable management, i would get a better case as it looks like you are planning to o/c and you will want descent air flow.
I would also upgrade to a GTX 570 and keep the i5, you REALLY don't need the 8 threads.
Also don't forget your OS? Do you have one?
PSU is a bomb, change it to the xfx 550w or 650w
change case to [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fractal-design-core-3000-mid-tower-performance-case-w-o-psu]Fractal core 3000[/url]
either change the heatsink to a [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coolermaster-hyper-212-evo-4-heat-pipes-direct-contact-with-120mm-quiet-fan-lga775-1155-1156-1366-am]212 Evo[/url], or just remove the F7P
change to [url=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-msi-gtx-560ti-oc-twin-frozr-ii-40nm-4200mhz-gddr5-gpu-880mhz-shader-1760mhz-384-cores]this 560ti[/url]
stick with the 2500k, gaming will get no benefit at all from the i7s hyperthreading
