Whatever you choose - stretch to a DDR (double data rate) RAM motherboard if funds allow....might blow your budget a bit though.

CR, I presume you just looking for the base unit (no monitor)

CPU - go for an Athlon, the high CPU's are relatively cheap

Normally I wouldn't recommend a Dell, too much integrated **** for my liking. But this one has seperate graphics and sounds cards plus expensive rambus memory and a feckin p4 1.5!
I was mildly wrong on the price it's £599+vat and its 50 notes for the 17" monitor upgrade.
Mesh are usually worth a look too
