I'd looked at the one you mentioned above, and was coming round to the idea of that one.
Time to start looking at parts

Alright zing, what MB / CPU & cooler / PSU & gfx do you recommend ? - ideally I'd like to spend <£400 on these parts
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=5&subcat=913 possibly this mobo

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=6&subcat=793 something like this cpu

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MY-072-OC this stupid cheap for what it is ram

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=14&subcat=768 hard drive

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...23&subcat=1088 perhaps this psu as its not to expensive should be ok and is modular

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=56&subcat=168 none gaming gfx but looks like it will suit your needs well

any of a choice of loads of optical

Total of about 300 quid not including the case . It should easily cover your needs as in post 1


cpu cooler needs to be thought about if an artic freezer 7 pro would fit that will be a good choice as your not gonna be pushing this machine to extremes
