    You may as well get a 500GB from the start, they're only like £41 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146252

    This RAM is pennies more http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138562

    Motherboard http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132275

    Will you be needing a DVD-RW drive? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142274

    You'll also be needing a case and PSU. It's best not to use a PSU that comes with a case as it will most likely be crap. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/112899

    Case - choose what you want. http://www.ebuyer.com/search?store=2&cat=23

    While you can "upgrade" a hard drive, i wouldn't recommend to and it's easier just to add additional drives in instead. As for PSU, it's your choice, but I advise against using a cheap PSU and so will pretty much everyone else that you ask.

    I would say cheap PSU's are good for cheap systems. Systems that won't be stressing the PSU. Hiper PSU's (one was linked earlier) are decent power supplies, but they get very warm when being even slightly stressed. This will heat up your room and your case like mad. Believe me, I had one.
