A 'reasonable gaming machine' with a 20" screen and Win 7 on £600 is tricky.
I'm going to suggest this which is a touch over budget:
Dell IN2010N 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor £99.99
(£85.10) £99.99
(£85.10)
G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM) £95.99

(£81.69)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - Retail (Full Version) £89.99
(£76.59) £89.99
(£76.59)
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5750 512MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £88.99
(£75.74) £88.99

Corsair CX 400W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-400CXUK) £39.99
(£34.03) £39.99
(£34.03)
Xigmatek Asgard Midi Tower Case - Black £28.99
(£24.67) £28.99
(£24.67)
Samsung SH-S223C/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £14.99
(£12.76) £14.99
(£12.76)
Sub Total : £528.43
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
DPD Next Day Parcel
(This can be changed during checkout) Shipping : £10.50
VAT is being charged at 17.50% VAT : £94.31
Total : £633.24
Good upgrades if you could save up a little bit more would be:
Athlon II 425 (tri core) can be found for a few £ more if you look around.
ATI HD 5770 is a very nice card, the 5750 isn't bad either though.
edit - just noticed you don't need DVD drives so that knocks £15 off and brings it almost to £600.

It will be a lot more money.
A i5 750 CPU is £169 on its own, and is a true quad core CPU.
If your thinking of spending more money, get the above spec.
But with a PHENOM II X4 955 and get the 1gb 5770 graphics card.
