Should I buy this OcUK rig?

I'm in the market for a new rig. I'm not looking to spend much, I just want something that will run games like COD4 and Crysis well, and which is upgradable in the future.

I saw this on the main website:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-071-OK

It seems like a good deal for less than £600 (VAT incl.). I did a rough estimation of what it would cost me to buy the components separately and build my own PC and that worked out as MORE expensive. Go figure.

Is it a good rig, would you say? Worth buying?

More importantly, is it upgradable?

I've just ordered a new laptop, so I don't need to buy a destop right now. Is it worth waiting for 5 or 6 months until the 9-series Nvidia cards have fell in price?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the thing with the case is a bit cheeky. I don't think I'll buy.

Fishdude, I can't make sense of your post mate.

Have OcUK always done that with case prices (i.e. call them an 'extra' and charge accordingly), or have they only recently started doing it?

I suppose the question is: is the rig still worth it at the higher price of £660 (£685 with delivery)?

But it works out cheaper to buy it ready built. I worked it out last night.

Do OcUK have a good rep for well built machines, because that's the only reason why I would possibly opt to buy from someone like PCworld (at least that way, if I got a bad machine, I can just take it back to the store)?

lol. Ok. PC World suck.
