What are you going to be using the machine for? And do you require a monitor / peripherals within that budget?

If you don't need vista, then swap it out for the E8400 CPU and change the power supply to a modular one, the corsair 520W is very good.

can they build it up for me if so do they charge

If you want it built for you by ocuk, then you need to look at the pre-built systems on the website. It will cost you more than buying the parts seperately and building it yourself. For a system like the one I spec'd your looking at £780-£800 to get it pre-built, so doing it yourself will save you money. You get the peace of mind of getting it done properly for you, but really it's not a difficult task and can be pretty rewarding. I've built about 6 computers so far and really enjoy it.

I also recommend that you buy the parts yourself since you'll get a much better idea of how your computer works, also you'll be able to upgrade it in the future and fix any problems you might have on your own.

If you have no knowledge at all of building a computer I suggest you look at sites like this, I'm sure you'll be very surprised how easy it is to build it yourself.

Oh yeah and that Asus 4850, you'll be getting the EAH4850 with the glaciator fansink, I've had some problems with it personally. It seems to hate Windows Aero
