PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i3-4370 3.8GHz Dual-Core Processor (£114.16 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: MSI H97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£65.81 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £179.97

I highly doubt you have 28GB RAM.

I will look a bit more, you might be able to squeeze in an i5 on that budget.

*EDIT*
Damn close!

If you are going to spend the money, spend the little extra and go with an i5 - not an i3.
