I would go with an Intel E8400. They are the best bang for buck at the moment in terms of gaming/overclocking .etc

Seems like the gpu is very low for that system, if you're looking for a card under £100 then the 9600gt is better, if £150 then the 8800GT or maybe GTS. Unless you're just getting something cheap as an interim before the new 4 series ati and equivalent geforces come out.
