Looks like a good spec, and the GPU should handle World Of Warcraft, Modern Warfare, Bad Company 2 and Mass Effect 1/2 with ease. Nothing to worry about there. :)

I'd recommend going for the western digital caviar green 640GB HDD instead because it'll load your games faster and only costs £9.00 more.

Cheers Guys, Got a promotion in work so i can spend a tad more on my system, but not much!

Just want to make sure, as everything i lay my hands on lately has been breaking, would this system run the games mentioned easily? for example would i be able to go into World of Warcraft, bump up the settings to Ultra Ultra High, and woosh off i go? or will i need to change some of my pc setting, like go into task manager and close a few processes down to get enough fps? just want to make sure, dont want to order this then realize its not good enough.

I think the 5850 should be able to run World of Warcraft on high settings, here's a video example for you to see:

You'll be able to put everything on high but i'd reccommend not putting shadows on high because it causes a massive drop in frames per second and the visual detail isn't much better than low/medium.
