my budget is 550 max tho would rather less looking for bang for buck

the computer will be used for games, i have dell 24in screen which has a res of 1920 x 1200
i already have the os and mouse and keyboard, i may also be using this computer for flight simulator that why i choose the i5 as i now it loves quad cores

please feel free to chop and change this is just what i put together as a start , also i will not be overclocking :)

thankyou

1 x MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK "Super-OC" 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £134.99
1 x Asus P8P67 LE Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION ** £68.98

1 x Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) £25.99
1 x Sony Optiarc AD-5260S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £15.98
Total : £549.90 (includes shipping : £12.50).

you should get 4Ghz on the standard cooler quite happily, maybe more (anandtech got 4.4Ghz on the standard cooler)
ive changed the graphics card to the GTX460 with a good aftermarket cooler because the GTX 560 is just an overclocked 460. with this GTX 460 you can happily go beyond standard 560 speeds of 822Mhz, quite a few can reach over 1000Mhz.

if i can find the review that said this i'll link it here

*edit*
here it is:
