Ha, I'm from Manchester myself. Try Aria, good prices and you can pick up in store. As far as the system goes, I cant go into too much detail right now because I'm on my phone but I'd go for a minimum of an I3 or Phenom 965 with the HD 6770 or HD 7770 to play GW2 nicely. I'll suggest a full build tonight when I get back from work.

I find Aria to be cheaper, also they are a lot better at holding stock. Every time I go to Microdirect, they are out of stock on a lot of items.

Scan, Dabs, CCL and Overclockers are all within ~50 miles of Manchester as well, just FYI. Ebuyer is like a 1h30m drive down the M62 as well.
