That's a damn fine system setup, but why not build it yourself? I'm not sure of pricing and availability in the UK, but here in the US you can easily save yourself a few hundred dollars cutting out the middle man and building your own rig.

In terms of the hardware listed, you could safely step down to a i5 2500K if you wanted to save a few quid, there are very few games that can max a 2500k alone, most will never come close to utilizing all of a 2600k, assuming you're not planning on going super high resolution, multi-monitor with your setup.

Thanks for the reply AMutedScrear, the reason I did not want to build it myself was that its my first build/custom PC and I would not know where to get the parts from or how to fix it all together, also cyberpower seem to have a very good reputation when it come to the build of the PC.
Also I emailed Cyberpower with my budget and asked what they would recommend for me, then just added some bits to it, like the SSD and extra fans.
The reason I posted on a forum was so I could get some more opinions on the parts, rather than just talking to the guy who is selling the parts.

When it comes to the i5 2500K and i7 2600K i could save £78 by swiching to the 2500K, and when it comes to the multi-monitor setup I will not be when i first get the system, but I might move to a multi-monitor set up, based on if I can afford to get another monitor.
