Budget is about £400.
Used for gaming and other guff.

CPU, Mobo, Ram, PSU, GFX, Cooler, Case.
I'd prefer Intel over AMD.

Cheers

You're not going to get anything half-decent for gaming with that budget if you stick with Intel.

I'll have a think when I get home, but I think you'd be better off with a Kaveri APU system.

Surely that really depends on what sort of gaming and at what res. A few more details would probably help CaNsA.
 
With the budget I have available, would I get anything better than what I am running at the moment?

I want something that gives similar, if not better, performance to the spec in my sig.

The main reason for doing this is to down size my setup, This is a huge beast at the moment.

not on that budget. of course, if you're willing to sell your rig and put the funds from the sale, then it's possible.
going the 2nd hand route via MM isn't a bad idea too.
 
How much do you want to downsize by? Your case is pretty massive; there are small ATX cases out there:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black (CC-9011030-WW) £102.49
1 x Corsair Obsidian 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case (CC-9011049-WW) £91.99
1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95
Total : £284.95 (includes shipping : £17.10).



Your Fractal XL: 560mm x 561.3m x 232mm (WxHxD)
Ronin: 483mm x 505mm mm x 205mm
450D: 494mm x 497mm x 210mm
540: 415mm x 332mm x 458mm

Spend whatever money you have left on a GPU (780s and 290s go pretty cheap on the MM these days) and voila, you'll have a smaller and more powerful system.

Or this...which is probably the smallest ATX case:
