£7 more should be fine:

 

[trentoncomputer]

How about this:
Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB Caviar Blue 3.5" SATA II Hard Drive
1x £31.71

Gaming Midi Tower Case (700W PSU) - Black
1x £56.39

Samsung SH-S223C 22x Internal DVD±R/RW SATA Drive - Black
1x £13.34

Intel Core i5 760 2.8GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) Processor - Retail
1x £144.51

Acer H233HEbmid 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black £129.24

VTX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £117.49

Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 microATX Motherboard £67.99

Then get a cheap keyboard/mouse and get Win 7 from Overclockers
??

Not allowed to mention competitors on here, also I wouldn't trust the PSU that's included in that case and the 5770 is a bit too slow for 23" monitors (I assume it's 1080p).

 

[stulid]

I can feel a suspension coming on.

 

[stulid]

don't forget to take into account two lots of delivery prices.

 

[Redmint]

The Caviar Blue drives are a bit too slow for running your operating system, just get the Seagate one that me and Stulid suggested.

 

[trentoncomputer]

Okay, how do you know that by the way, if you don't mind me asking, I see that they are the same stats?
Both hard drives are the same in my eyes?

 

[Redmint]

Was confused with the caviar green, the blue isn't too bad, but the Seagate is still slightly better.

 

[stulid]

its the reviews, the samsung F3, seagate barracuda 7200.12 and western digital black are the three fastest drives.

we suggested the seagate due to its stunning price, apart from that, their is nothing between those three.

the blue range are slower.

omg!! when did they stock up the Geil Rams and i cant see them anywhere?!

 

[trentoncomputer]

Sorry one more thing, why AMD over intel?

Check the 'clearance' lines.

 

[stulid]

more bang for your buck, the best option on cheaper builds, after £800 it starts to swing intels way.

 

[Jony27]

omg!! i didnt even know that the clearance lines existed...massive facepalm on me
