i would suggest never buying from PC world, Comet or Currys i find they are over priced. for that price you can get a dell with that setup but with the best GPU on the market (8800GTX). www.dell.co.uk
With a computer from PC world etc the BIOS will probably be locked (no overclocking), i find the cases arn't too appealing, the motherboard won't have that many slots (just what it needs when you buy, hard to upgrade, good chance of a weak PSU or one that only just powers the components the PC comes with. The strange thing is is they are no longer that expensive because of all the competition from DELL and the like, if i were you i'ld ask for the specific specifications, you will need to know info such as the motherboard model, the RAM frequency, the HDD and optical drive interface (IDE, SATA), how they measure a gigabyte (i found a site that still used the 1000 mbs to a gb) and how is the hard drive space arranged (RAID, master drive, data drive, you may not be able to use all of the 800gb for actual games). Then you should be able to make a more informed decision.About the specs: that QX6700 is probably uneaded you should be fine with an E6600 or if you want quad Q6600 and change the graphics card to a 8800gtx, you could get away with a smaller HDD as well it seems a bit pointless having that much, just means you get more rubish on your PC before you notice.

I hope you will chose a good PSU for that great rig, a good PSU like Seasonic M-12 or Corsair
