Would i get much more for spending little extra for the Quad core?

Looks good, the tri core is fine (in most games the X3 will be faster than that quad), if you want to go for a quad then go for atleast this one.

The way I see it, the monitor is so improtant as its the thing you look at all the time. I'm sure the T220 is a fine monitor (albeit a bog standard TN panel), but this one IS worth the extra. To pay for some of it I suggest moving to this motherboard and this RAM.

Both above are right, though rather than moving to a DDR2 setup, why not just cycle to work for a few weeks and spend the extra for the better screen. I've used the T220s and they look great, but an e-IPS panel compared to a TN. There is no comparison!

I wouldnt swap that for the quad core imo

But PSU

and

HDD

a lot of people recomended the SamsungF3 but i took your advice on the HardDrive, however i was told that PSU isn't that efficient ?? and the stealth should be fine.

The way I see it, the monitor is so improtant as its the thing you look at all the time. I'm sure the T220 is a fine monitor (albeit a bog standard TN panel), but this one IS worth the extra. To pay for some of it I suggest moving to this motherboard and this RAM.

This is tricky as the budget need to be tight to £500 and bought asap(without rushing), and i could do with keeping the DDR3 as it will be used for uni work (coding, rendering - etc) aswell as some light games.
Would anyone happen to know what panel is used in a SM223BW? if its TN i have found it great so will happily go for the T220...

This build is for Girlfreind if your wondering why i would want to change my monitor then :)

cheers
