Yup, will do nicely.

GPU changed to a 7870 Windforce X3 and a BitFenix Shinobi case.

Good enough.

If you want to save a bit of money, there's no shame in getting a GTX660. It's about on par with a 7870, and those games may prefer NVidia for starters.

Would recommend the Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC 2048MB, or even the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X 2048MB which is at £150.

All already ordered. The 7870 should do nicely. Was only around £170 so not to much more than a GTX 660.
