As stated in the title i need a good gaming PC.
The HDD doesnt really matter as i plan to add 2 of my own to it anyway (and upgrade to Windows 7)
So all in all a good gaming PC, half decent graphics card and i am looking to spend no more then about £300-380.
Any questions please ask

I think I could help you but you need to add around 200 more euros to your budget, this assuming stuff in Europe isn't more expensive which I believe is not the case.
nvm refer to:

If you want Intel/nVidia, yes, it'll be $1000+.
You can make a AMD/ATI build for 65-80% the price of Intel/nVidia.
