Righty ho With my recent offer of a 17-inch monitor which runs at 1400 x 800 for free from a mate, I decided Its finally time to cough up some dough, and build that multimedia PC that Ive wanted to build for ages. I found a great desktop case for 24 pounds. Awesome. Ill order it on the 1st (when I get the first lot of money for this XD) I already said Ive got a monitor. Now I have about 50 quid to get the insides... I was thinking 1.8GHz with 512MB RAM and geforce 5ish... Any Ideas.

AMD or Intel? You can get some fairly reasonable AMD boards from about £30 with dual core Athlon X2's starting at about £40. Or on the Intel side, the MSI P35-Neo2 board is pretty good and comes in around £50 (I have the P35-Neo2 FSIR with heatpipes on it which I think was about £60 and it will support up to the latest quad core CPUs (although saying that, when it comes to upgrading, sods law Intel will have brought out their new line of CPUs on a different socket). Memory for either board would be DDR2 which is dirt cheap at the moment, I think you're looking at about £10 per gig (buy the memory in matched pair kits, that way you know they'll work in dual channel mode). You should be able to pickup a cheapo Geforce 5 series or 7 series for about £25.

Oh, and the board has to be mATX to fit the case. =[ How about this board at £28.28 from eBuyer.com http://www.ebuyer.com/product/126138 This CPU at £21.99 also from eBuyer.com (for about £3 less you could get a slower Sempron, or for about £7 more, a dual core Athlon X2) http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133379 This memory at £16.27 (it's 2 x 512MB DIMMs but not much difference to 2 x 256MB) http://www.ebuyer.com/product/91126 Does the case come with a PSU? If not... this might do the job (it's cheap and probably noisy, but wouldn't stretch your budget) at £5.99 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/20083 Oh and you'd need a CPU fan (cheap one for £3.99)... http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116047 Comes in at about £26 over budget.
