Long time since i built a pc so i'm more than a little out of touch, but here's what i came up with for my budget of around £500.

Anything obvious need changing or improving ?

if overclocking or wants better temps/ less noise add a 3rd party cpu cooler such as this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-017-AR otherwise looks fine to me

I agree with jak731 regards the cpu cooler.
Spec looks fine, enjoy

seems solid might up the processor though

Looks good to me. Wouldn't spend any more unless you fancy splashing out on a 4870. A faster CPU probably won't give you any meaningful improvement unless you go for a heavily overclocked quad (assuming you overclock the E5200)

Looks good-personally I would go with the Akasa Ak965 over the Freezer 7; 5 quid cheaper and I'm really impressed with mine. Slightly larger fan blades which means it spins slower and is quieter too
