bit silly to say it's the final spec check 3 wks (at least) b4 u intend to buy it as prices and goods change quickly and regularly in the PC market, i'd post about 3-5 days b4 ur ready to buy.

Agree...

For example if you were buying now you might as well go for this:

Maybe it's just me but I personally dislike cheap cases, I'd spend extra 20-30 on decent case but after all it's one of the parts that you can keep on for years and future upgrades but the choice belongs to you : ).

I'd also go with a phenom II setup but that's also a personal preference.
Overall looks pretty decent

Remember the VAT increase will make that 15 more...

Not with a Dual Channel motherboard...

As it's a self build, any reason you are getting retail OS instead of OEM?

I presume all three cases will hold a tower cooler if you decide to upgrade later; not sure you'll really notice any different in width by 1cm.

The height and depth dirrences are really large, I'm suprised they vary so much! Unless you're storing yor case in a small space I would just go for the one you prefer the look of.
