  1. YEAH, really good. 1GB video card will help in the future as programs and Games increase. Don't forget to compare US sites as well to take advantage of the exchange rate which I think is $2 US to 1 UK Pound. Shipping will be more, but you might save some. Only suggestion to REALLY get this rig tricked out.. would be to add a 2nd Hard drive of the same capacity so you can Mirror the drives (RAID 0) for enhanced performance and data recovery. Lastly, make sure your case has at least 1 120mm fan in it to help with airflow. -- I'd recommend a 450-500w powersupply if you don't plan on adding a 2nd Graphics card or over clocking it. 550-600w if you do plan on dual cards. The PSU should have at least 1 120mm fan to keep things cool and quiet.
