I personally like it. Some might change the case or the cooler, and I'd say that the DVD drive might be worth upgrading if you don't want a jet engine, but if you aren't going to use it often or you aren't that bothered, click that buy button

Looks good, I would change to cooler to a 212 (Although they aren't in stock) maybe change the case to something with a bit more space.

Case recommendation for me in that price range would be a Corsair 200R, or the 300R if you can stretch to it. Not strong on coolers myself, I would think any £15+ cooler will do fine, just check it clears the RAM.
