Will do what you're are looking for (I presume gaming) relatively well.

That's about all we can say.. =)

Except the fact you're PSU is complete overkill, 520W would be fine, but a 700W will give plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

Maybe,

Zotac GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (ZT-X26E3KA-FSP) £134.99 inc VAT

I'd go for

Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK
£83.94 inc VAT.

But it's not a Modular Power Supply, so you case may not like it. ;p
But the Coolermaster is fine.
