Ok right here we go...
What you want to be looking for is at least 8GB of DDR3 memory, 500GB storage space, and for graphics you can always add a PCIe graphics card if it doesnt cut it. Process wise we want a dual core running 3Ghz+ at the minimum but prefereably a quad core @3GHz+. For manufacturers of processors you have either AMD or intel. AMD are cheaper but I prefer intel because ive always had them. With the intel range you have the i3 i5 and i7. The i3 is mostly dual cores, the i7 is most quad cores and the i5 is a mixture of dual and quads.
Presuming a budget of around £300 you can get the following with a quad core i5 processor.

None of these come with windows so youd need to get hold of windows 7 64 bit.
I always use ebuyer as they have been brilliant for everything I have ever bought and seem to have very competitive prices. Their delivery is also awesome. I have ordered parts in the evening and they have arrived before 9am the next morning!
With regards to that ebay PC in the first post. It does seem like a very good price but i have always avoided buying custom made machines on ebay. Sure I normally build my own but i make sure quality parts go in. It seems doubtful that they can include a genuine copy of windows and games for that price.
Hope this points you in the right direction and gives you a few ideas.
