Explicit your specification looks good but doesn't appear to include a copy of Windows XP so I'd have to go with BigDom's specification. I might not get the Saitek keyboard though as a more basic one would drop the cost to ~£800. :)

Oops, didn't notice he needed an OS too. I'll edit...
 
How about this spec. You could then replace the cpu later with an Athlon X2 chip when they come down in price:

Only a 6600GT Graphics though Monster, pretty low level graphics.

The Saitek is VERY basic :) - just backlit. I like it for that reason, it's basic and solid :).

Undoubtedly a great specification but you are missing an OS and a monitor which you aren't going to get for £50 or at least it won't be XP and a tft :)

buy the OS second hand for not that much, the tft would come to a bit more but that base system will be excellent
