Hi and welcome

Below is something that will take basically anything you throw at it. If you want to spend the whole £600 then upgrade the ATI GFX Card to an 8800GT instead. The 2 120mm Fans are for the CPU cooler and the front intake of the case.

you could save about £60 by swapping the quad core for a dual core and overclocking it

Assuming you OC the nuts off the CPU this will take pretty much anything you can throw at it and then some.
The E2180 should do 3ghz with ease.

Yeah the above setup looks to be the one of th ebest you could get with that sort of budget, and It'd be pretty damn quick as well. And like Venares said you can clock the E2180 pretty easily.

I guess if you did want to save a bit more you could drop the Tuniq Tower to an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, but I mean you wouldn't be saving much and those Tuniw Towers would do a fine job anyway.
