This spec ok?

i'd swap the samsung 750gbs for the 640 versions, meant to be faster.
change the pc8500 to pc6400, as it will get the quad to 3.6ghz.
depending on budget and whether you use the system for gaming may be worth a look at the 4870.

This is one of those very rare moments, where the OP of a "help spec me a PC" has made one that is perfect, and that nothing can be changed 
The only thing that I would suggest is changing the memory from the OCZ to the GeIL Black Dragon kit. They will be better overclockers than the OCZs. I know, the prices are close, but still, it is a better kit.

ocz is guaranteed for 533, best i've seen from the dragon is 470 ish, so for the £9 i don't see the point.
True, but the OCZs, I very mcuh doubt, will overclock much further than they are already at. The GeILs can get on par with the OCZ, working at the same settings. They are just better overclockers, and will most likely get to tighter timings. Plus, since when will anyone need 533MHz with a Q6600?
Either kit will work well, TBH.
Go for the 4870 instead of the 4850
The 4850 is sufficient, but you might want to put another £55 into the budget and get the faster card.
