According to these things I ended up with this build:

For the GPU I want to get the XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB from here because this guy is selling it very cheap so It will be able to fit in my budget. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XFX-RADEON-HD-5850-725M-1GB-DDR5-DP-HDMI-Dual-DVI-PCIE-/260710418049?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item3cb38d4681
For the case I want to get the Antec 300 for 45 GBP + the monitor I mentioned above and some kind of keyboard.
So what do you think of this build?
There are couple of things I am concerned about like:
1) I heard that the 5850 GPU is big so will it fit in that case?
2) I was suggested to get a different mobo because this one "won't actually run Xfire or SLI. Second slot is x4, so won't work." so I should get a cheaper one or something.
3) Is the Radeon HD 5850 a good GPU?
4) How good will this build perform in games and is it a good build over all?
