I would say £640 is enough for a decent rig. You could get this system with 1GB ram and upgrade to 2GB later when you have the money or get 2GB and a cheaper motherboard.

oops, yes get that instead.

Saw a 2GB ddr2 stick and thought I was in thought I was in the DDR2 section. Forgot the Gskill memory isn't sorted by type unlike the other memory sections.
