Okay, find out exactly what you want, and then tell us, and I for one will go away and do a system spec up for you so you can compare things like prices.
Ps. Socket 754 is currently not used much, as socket 939 is using the later Winchester, San Diego and Venice Cores, and Turion isn't out yet, will probably be expensive and won't find such a huge majority, even amongst overclockers, (and even the already out Winchesters are going from strength to strength), whereas the newest socket 939 chipsets, San Diego and Venice are looking great, with huge overclocking potential, at low voltages and low temperatures!
And stick away from the FX5200... its worth about £40 new and is basically a piece or s***e. If you will be playing games, don't get this. Settle for at least an ATI 9550 minimum.
Also watch out for generic parts that specify loads of features for a low price, often you get what you pay for.
And never buy PCChips motherboards or Q-Tec power supplies!

There are many shops and websites you can visit, but as they said on Little Britain: ''Don't you think your being a bit specific....?
I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that you won't get that for under £700 ready made.
Built it may be a bit less though.

there is going to be 1 person using it and it will be used all the time for the internet and it will be networked

I wouldnt discount socket 754 so readily, when the Turion CPU's are released i imagine the platform will see quite a popularity boost.

What will the PC be used for?
If it's a gaming PC then a self build is a much better option than buying it from a shop (or dell).

i chose these pieces and had a quote of over £700 and i was wondering if i could get it cheaper anywhere else

You could build a far better system cheaper.

WTF?
You've blatantly just copied this from, oh, say, Dell.
Do you even know what half of this means? Why do you specify that you want an "Xplode" case? And why do you only want those specs?
Also, some of that is software...
