I would advise you to build it yourself or get someone like me, who would build it for free, instead of buying from one of these companies.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (£127.50 @ Amazon UK)

just make sure that your cpu and motherboard can handle the same ram speeds and for example 1333,1600,1866, higher is better. ram motherboard and cpu need to match.speed of 1600 is very solid
