Ok just priced you a system on microdirect

AM2+ quad core 920 £140
Asus M3A78pro AM2+ mobo |£70
ATI 4670 £56 quid
Kingston hyperx 4 gig ddr 2 £40
OCZ 500 watt modxstream psu £50 quid

so thats about 360 quid 20 quid for optical 50 quid for hdd £430 then you choose your case so it should be under £500

I went with AMD as the Phenom 2 cpus are as good as the Q6 quads from intel and to get the better Intel CPU you need to pay a premium on the Q9 series

If you spend the other ton you could have a 4870 nearly and have a wicked machine
