Looks pretty good. The graphics card, processor, and power supply are top notch.

The case looks cool too.  Cool

This is is £550 actually, same as your other one but actually a good deal.  Probably one of the best you'd get for that money in the UK in my view.

Brad,

I would be careful about Cyberpower.  I was perusing New Egg, and stumbled upon a decetly spec'ed Cyberpower PC, however, the reviews of it were very poor: main complaint was the PC was dead on arrival or the GPU was improperly installed causing malfunction (what kind of PC manufacturer ships a product like that?).  See if you can find reviews of this PC before you buy; you may want to stick with name brand if you are unwilling to build a PC.  I have a 4 year old store-bought Gateway PC that, properly configured, tweaked, and updated, runs CoH well without freezups, lag, etc.
