I'm a student with an unfortunate gaming habit; I have an Xbox 360 but really miss decent RTS games, and I've always had a soft spot for PCs anyway. I've been agonising over a build with decent price/performance ratio for months, and given I'm moving in and out of college ever couple of months it needs to be relatively portable. Not looking to spend more than £600, so I'm wondering if you could advise me on my current choice:

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB @ £166.74
DFI Lan Party JR P45-T2RS Intel P45 @ £109.24
OCZ StealthXStream 600w Power Supply @ £60.94
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @ £57.49
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB @ £50.59
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX @ £42.54
Coolermaster Elite 340 Micro-ATX Case @ £28.74
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler @ £20.69
LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter @ £16.09
Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fan x2 @ £13.78

All up, £578.31.

I'm a new member, so sorry for diving in immediately with requests for help but I thought you might be the people to ask! Thanks in advance :)
 
Thanks very much; I've found a PC Power and Cooling supply which will do fine and isn't too much more, similarly with the HDD and cooler. The problem with going for another CPU is the hike in price, I've promised myself that I won't go over £600 :-S Damn my principles (and student loan limits...)! The GPU is on offer at the moment, so I considered going for something a bit lower, like a 4850, to better match the CPU but it seemed too good to turn down. Damn, I'm going to have to agonise over whether to break my budget just that little bit for an E8400 now...
