good, but the case and CPU cooler are expensive. I would get a Zalman Z9 to save £30, and postpone the cooler until later, or get something cheaper.
That will give you a much better GPU.
EDIT : OMG hard drive prices... £10 to £15 more expensive... :'(

Go with Olivier's build, but switch the i5 to a Retail if you can - the 2 extra years warranty is worth it...
Also yeah HDD prices are a bummer
But absolutely stonking deal on that Vengeance RAM!

if you want to go the closed loopliquid cooler route then I'd suggest
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-060-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517 ~£5 cheaper than the corsair vengence blue
antech kuhler 620(£40) + g skill ripjaws(£38) = £78
gellid tranquillo(£26) + corsair vengence white lp(£48) = £74
not a great difference there
king damager the retail cpu is £17 more
if you could stretech to it http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-040-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866

keep an eye out for the kingston genesis grey. more reliable if you are looking to clock the system, and it keeps going on offer to under 40 quid.
