Answer
Well, I don't think your budget would allow much in the way of a gaming computer for £400, to be honest, so a refurbished computer might be the only way to get some proper bang for your bucks. Or pounds sterling, as the case may be. What you're looking for is likely just something to tide you over until you can upgrade the graphics card of the computer, though.
If you need both a monitor and everything else, then I think you have a slightly tight budget. Something like
http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/detail.asp?ProductID=6108&CategoryID=407&SubCategoryID=507
should be right up your alley. The GPU is an integrated jobbie, so it's a bit crap - but the rest should be fairly good value, and you can always install a new GPU later on - I believe that PSU should be able to deliver enough wattage for a fairly good-sized GPU.

Read, watch you tube videos on how to install motherboards and CPU heatsinks. Get the info you need to build your own. It isn't hard at all, you just have to get the needed info. You can save thousands and still have a better computer than even an alienware that will be out of date within the next year.
Next question is how much you want to spend. The sky is the limit, but you have to set yourself a boundary. You need a good processor, at the same time you need a good graphics card. The real question really boils down to what monitor set up you are going to use. There is no use overpowering your rig, if you only plan on using a CRT monitor. Same thing goes if you are buying 3 24", no use getting an under powered rig for that set up either, both cases will lead you to big disappointment...
CPU wise, an LGA775 is out the window, LGA 1156 is your baseline and LGA1366 is overkill.
Average monitor, you might as well bite the bullet and get the best graphics card you can afford. The graphic card wholesalers have figured out the benifeits of SLI and crossfire and raised the price on the lower class cards in accordance to their crossfire or Sli abilities. You aren't going to find two lesser cards for less money than the bigger card anymore. 2 5770's with a power supply is going to cost you more than a 5850, and will run on the same power supply... 2 5850's will cost you more than a 5870, and a 5970 will cost less than 2 5870's...
I myself still say the Fermi is the way to go, a 470GTX or a 480GTX is bottom line FASTER than their ATI counterparts, for the same money. Yes the 470GTX and the 480GTX are power hogs to an extent, but NVIDIA has always led the way in terms of graphics quality... They haven't arrived at newegg as of today, but I am still waiting on their arrivial, to replace my 285GTX.
Like I said before, an alienware computer that costs $2500, you can build for $1700, big thing is, if you buy an Alienware computer, there is no way I would buy it without getting a good warantee with it, which will run ya another $300-$500. If you build, you have RMA potential from every part you purchase and don't have to pay additional for it...
