At the lower end of the budget something like this would do, if you wanted to spend more then any one of either quad-core, 4gb Ram or a 2900XT is within your grasp. :)

would it run really well for gaming?

as i dont wanna be upgrading again, its mainly for css, etc.
 
20" Dell 2007WFP.

also what would you go for if you could get the full 600 pound budget?
 
If I was going to blow the full budget then this is pretty much what I'd be looking at, however bear in mind that it is a) probably overkill and b) a limitation of 32bit OSes not to see a full 4gb of Ram (you'll get about 3.5gb). :)
