The improvement in speed of the 250 GB 7200.10 is worth the £6 more it costs over the 160 GB version. That CPU cooler probably isn't as good as the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, though if I were buying I'd get a Tuniq Tower. That RAM is needlessly expensive. Get the £44.64 OCZ that's on sale this week instead. I don't know how well the WiFi on the motherboard works but if I were you I'd get the Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R, or on the high end, the IP35 Pro which is also on sale this week.

EDIT: Don't get an 8800 GTS since the ATi HD 2900 Pro is quicker and just about the same price.

To paste a picture put it in between

tags, without the space in the closing one.

Or use the "insert image" button and paste the location into the dialog box :)
