Got hold of a Phenom II x2 550 BE system, as a little present for a friend for christmas,
all i really need is a GPU but want to buy second hand? what would suit the cpu in terms of a budget system?

Probably a 6770 or a 6850. I have a 6850(i don't use it anymore, I have a 7950 on my rig), and with my fx-4100 the two were pretty well matched. On second thought since the Phenom II x2 is a little less powerful I would probably go with a 6770.

A few of the systems I've seen have had the higher 6000 series, hopefully I can find one around 50 Ish pounds
