First question, do you want a new case? I would stick with the 900 if I was you, will save you cash. You can also clean it out and make it all shiny when you replace all the components. Also if the corsair 520w is still reliable as it should be then go with that. Otherwise nice spec above, if you leave out the case and PSU and save that money you could easily stretch to getting an 8800gt instead as well.

This is with a very overclockable dual rather than the quad. It's got a better graphics card though.

 

[Morrey360]

just received some great news that i have realised i have an extra £50 to spend so the spec is about £500 to £525 now

 

[Morrey360]

anyone?

Go with what BillytheImpaler suggested.

I'd go for something like that if you can find an extra £5.

Edit: You could swap the RAM I've speced for the stuff which melbourne720 and BillytheImpaler have mentioned to knock a few more quid off.
