Looks good tho personnally i would change the power supply and harddrive

its a much faster harddrive and worth the extra eight pounds, and for the power supply have a look at this

for your budget tho you could get a i7 build.

wow...that i7 looks tasty, but it's lacking extras like Sound Card, Mouse, Optical Drive.
I'll see what I can cook up...and then re-post.

looking like a nice system now

I would change a few things on that build, most important being the following:

The Iiyama monitor is much better, has HDMI port, faster response time etc for only £8 more. The BeQuiet! PSU is also better as is the Coolermaster V8.
