Google G3258 budget build, then scoure the online retail sites for B grade and clearance items similar to what you see in those build threads.

Personally I would put the AMD 280 as my GPU minimum, but even with low end kit your pushing over £300 in most cases.

You could do a 350w psu and run a small non PCI-E Nvidia 750 2gb card for a bit more saving.
