Your reccomendations? £500 limit

[Mono]

I have been asked to build a new pc for a mate and only have £500 budget he wants it to play games but will not be buying a decent graphics card for a while. any reccomendatons in hardware. screen has to be 17inch and main focus being on 1gb ram and the best processor he can get with the rest of his money. Looked at dell website (yuk) and wanted to see if we could put somthing together that would save him buying from dell?

Thanks In advace
