the combinations would depend on what you would use the PC for

Quad core arent necessarily the best. They can calculate more information yes, but also bottleneck as the amount of "pipes" are greater meaning more info to send and receive.

Some DC cpu's do run slightly more efficiently than a QC one. But I find RAM is key, if you can dump as much info to RAM rather than loading the cpu you will notice a difference. But i am pretty good with pc's so never really get any problems with mine.

Depending on the type of game depends on the performance of it, cpu and RAM being a key factor as well as Graphics cards. But dual core should handle games ok, as long as you dont expect Crysis to run on everything maxed like my home system does :D

Just shop about mate:

Dont use a company called Eclipse Computers who are based in Coventry. Awful customer service by far, jsut read reviews with a google search. I waited nearly 2 years for my money back on a faulty motherboard, then all of a sudden a refund was in my account, no phone call to say it had been done! So I was ecstatic about that, but never used them again, they fob you off until closing time!

Have a look on ebuyer and the others for barebone systems. They comprise of:

Case
Motherboard
RAM

depending on the shop depends on the bundle. Some give the CPU with it, some dont, some need PSU's some dont. The best you can do is shop about matey.

What exactly arer you after? Motherboard, ram and processor? if that is all, then i can have a search for some, sometimes you cant get the bits you want in a bundle with a one-click buy. You would have to buy all 3 items separately, but its not hard.
