I'll need a processor, graphics card, motherboard and RAM. I've got a 500w PSU but I don't know if that'll be enough.

Other than that I don't need anything. What am I looking at? I can post my current system if that would help?

It would mainly be a gaming machine, but also with a bit of media usage (HD films etc.)
 
Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.00GHz (800FSB) - Retail
(£45.81)
Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
(£79.89)
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
(£61.09)
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)
(£70.49)
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail
(£199.74)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)
(£17.61)

Sub Total : £403.94
Shipping : £8.95
VAT : £72.26
Total : £485.15

If you wanted to save some money I would switch the ATI 4870 for the 4850.

Do you know what make your current PSU is?
