If your are planning to overclock then it mite be wise to add a decent cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, £22.99 inc VAT

I reckon a 460 would struggle at anything over medium detail.

Maybe go for a 560Ti. The MSI Twin Frozr one. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-114-MS

What would you suggest?

personally i'd cut down on the processor and get a better graphics card for the money.

motherboard will allow overclocking if you upgrade to an i5 2500k or an i7 2600k. with the current processor it cannot overclock though.

also comes with a very good modular PSU
