I only have around £200 to spend, however bad this may sound I do have some specs.
I have a jn120F 600AP 12v2 PSU - Is this good enough?
I have an AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ CPU - Is this good enough?
I have an XFX AMD 6770 Graphics card
The only things I don't have providing the above specs are ok are:
RAM
Motherboard
Case
Can it be done? If so, what specs do I need?

I am not the best informed about PCs and building, but I also am trying to build my first gaming PC for a budget.
Your budget is VERY tight though, and I am not sure what you will be able to get for that. The PC I am trying to build is $500 at the lowest I can get the parts. So good luck to you on that, hope you can do it.
Anyways, the PSU seems to be ok, at least with the amount it supplies. 510w sounds pretty good from what I know. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/stress-test,review-1362-20.html <- Link to in depth review of the PSU.
The CPU looks a little old. Most reviews I found are from 2005, and the AM2 socket is outdated I think. Again, take everything I say with a grain of salt, but thats what I gather.
The AMD 6770 looks pretty good, my concern with it would mainly be specifications and if it would fit the motherboard, how much power does it draw? Otherwise it is actually a decent card, benchmarking pretty high in playing games like Just Cause 2 or Mafia 2.

I would do a lot of checking to make sure before purchasing anything. When you buy your motherboard, be sure to buy one that will fit the AMD 6770 in it.
Also, I think you would be better off buying a new CPU since you will probably get bottlenecked by it. The power supply, I am not too sure about, it might be good, it might be bad. Don't trust me on that.
I would go to http://www.build-gaming-computers.com/gaming-desktop-computer.html and read the guide to January 2013 budget build of the month. That helped me a lot.
RAM is pretty cheap nowadays, you will also need an optical drive, thats cheap too. Also, don't forget an OS and an HDD. The Operating system will pretty expensive, there is guides on how to get deals on operating system discs out there.
Thats the extent of my knowledge, if that haha. Good luck!
