My cpu is i5 3570. What is motherboard revision? How do I check that?
What ram should I get my budget is £40.

Try CPU-Z software, you can check your motherboard revision with it.
Then go to http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4127#sp and pick the right revision.
I'd not pick not more than 1600/cl9 memory kit on h61 motherboard.
See - http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ivy-bridge-ddr3_2.html#sect0
This kit will do the job : http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428
