Anything I should change/add or remove? Thanks

Computer will be used for general work, fair bit of gaming, video etc. He doesn't want a wide screen because he thinks it will distort the image (and won't listen to me)
 
True, but I don't think he would be buying another GB of ram any time soon.

If you can spec the same sort of thing with a C2D within the strict budget of £650 then ok :) I may ask if he wants to drop down to 1gb and get an X2. But a half decent board (even an asrock) with 1gb ram and the 6300 won't quite fit in budget.
 
Hmm, drop the Seagate and opt for the 160gb Samsung then it is only £5 or so over budget with the 7900GS, I'll see what he thinks
