That's miles and miles ahead of that twice renamed "gtx 250" and it's £2 cheaper

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6700 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.66GHz (1066FSB) - OEM - £140.29
Gigabyte GA-EP43-S3L Intel P43 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard - £74.74
Kingston Hyper X 4GB (2 X 2GB) DDR2 6400C4 800MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX6400D2LLk2/4G) - £39.09
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM3/LGA775) - £28.74
total: £282.86

^ better cooler, more RAM, same chip with a higher multi, better mobo, cheaper too!

why not got Dual core E8400 or AM3 tricore, plus you might aswell get a GTX 260 maxicore or 4870 for that price and invest in a better PSU OCZ PSU's havent exactly got great reviews heard many ppl who are unfortunate having blown PSU's from OCZ

would these not be better

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 X 2GB) DDR2 8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX8500D2K2/4G)

faster clock rate but higher cas timings ?
 
Id look at the bundled case + psu, you can either get the budget one at £77 includes coolermaster 335 and akasa 400W PSU - saving you £24 or the next one up at £110 includes antec 300 + corsair 450W which is a much better package and only slightly more. And I echo comments re GPU/CPU/mobo/RAM - by all acounts the nforce boards are very problematic until you get to the 790 series, which cost a fortune. This is a spec I did for someone else other day, it comes in at 705 but thats including O/S which you havent included so assuming you have an old one you're going to use just knock that off and you're within budget. The gfx card was on TWO at the time, not sure if it still is, you may want to consider the 1gig 4870 unless youre a hardcore Nvidia fan (as this chap was)

id prefer the centurion in all honesty but Id also like to have a window on it, sadly the coolermaster website dosent want to show its accessories atm !
