Don't buy a boat full of holes.
OT: Go to a small computer shop, tell them what you want it for, and set a maximum price of £500 - £700.
They'll recommend the parts and you can then look them up before you pay for it, ask them to swap anything out if someone can recommend a better one.
You'll want the motherboard to be the most up-to-date (in my opinion anyways), because when its time to upgrade, its going to depend on what it supports. You don't want to have left it for way too long, decide you need a CPU upgrade, and then realise you're MoBo doesn't support it enough. Make sure the case is big too - doesn't need to look fancy, but it should be big. Getting those things out of the way initially will bring your expenses down quicker - eventually your entire costs will be less than that of a console.
Try and find a shop recommended by someone else if you can - unless you know someone who'll build it for you for free, in which case, even better.
