£500 ain't really a lot to work with, especially playing BF2 which prefers 2GB RAM. It's over budget but here's what I came up with:

No problem, welcome to the boards.

Could try something like this, It is over your budget but if you want to be able to play things like BF2 & Fear etc then this will probably be about the best. Or if you could get the budget to about £700 then it would be an excellent system and you could swap out the gfx card in favour of an x1800 or a 7800 card.
