I will be using this computer for World of Warcraft and some other games.

+1 to all of this.

The OCUK battle PSUs are for use with basic office/home systems and not designed for high-end gaming systems with high power graphics cards.

Of the PSUs Lemin mentions I would go for the XFX Pr 650W Core (review here) it is a solid PSU at a fair price.

Also, the Antec 100 mention is better and newer than the 300. The one to go for imho.

You may want to consider this monitor.

Also, this graphics card is one heck of a deal and will be a good fit with the XFX 650W PSU.

I'm going to be flashing the 6950 to the 6970 and my mate (who the computer is for) might be expanding to dual monitors in the future so the 2GB of memory might be more useful?

Any other recommendation apart from the 100? It's out of stock and needs ordering today.

He doesn't have the money to get the 24" either. However, will ask him.
 
Ok, this is what I'm going to order, anybody want to make any other suggestions before I make the plunge?
