Right then, I'll basically list up all the important parts of my PC and mention my budget.
I guess I am looking for a new case(possibly with approx. 22mm Fan) motherboard, graphics card, ram and a powersupply, what do you think I should go a long with?

My budget: 270Pounds

My current PC Specs:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
1024 MB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Memory 256 MB
230Watt Powersupply
Unknown Motherboard (but it doesn't even run PCI)

If its for gaming then I think you might need a new everything, which £270 wont cover :(

I wouldnt disagree, i would recommend getting the whole shebang. Well what you can get away with anyway

Get a fairly nifty little PC for around £400-£500

On a £500 build that would be a bit of a waste :p

Not exactly, im gutted ive had to get my crappy 4870 replaced

And all i hear about ATi's is bad news, unless your running a mac machine

So the 280 or 260 is the way forward for me, only gonna cost me £90 plus p+p if i get a full refund for my 4870

Not sure that will happen though

must admit ati drivers ahve been somewhat disappointing of late :( but then i have had a few issues with new nvidia drivers not working with my 9500gt so had to resort to older ones, found a cuda driver that worked so at least i can fold on it :D
