Help with gaming computer build :)?

Q. Im planning on building a desktop gaming computer with money from my bike when i can sell it and was wondering if anyone could reccomend me a build because im not really sure how to balance out the money between parts. The budget will be about £600-£700 and it would be nice if i could play games that arent super demanding on high settings :) thx any help will be much appreciated.

A. for a price of under £600 i managed to build a system that is able to play games like Crysis (2) on high settings. all parts are of the latest make and models and are taken from overclockers.co.uk
