Thank you all for the replies, some food for thought..
Think I will drop DVD and go for 120GB SSD. Additional Hard drive/DVD drive can be bought later, but I personally don't remember when I have used a cd/dvd lately.. everything can be downloaded/moved using USB sticks.
...And yes, will add the 2133mhz ram above as well for few extra quid.

Definitely in AMD bounds, This will run most games, has an on-board GPU.
Slighty over budget but SSD's are expensive. Eventhough the spec includes 60gb SSD, I'd advise more as windows can take 20gb +
