Looks good, most games are GPU bound so the slightly lesser CPU isn't a problem.
Get 8GB RAM rather than 4GB to have slightly smoother experience and you are on to a winner.
GeForce GTX 560 or a Radeon HD 6870 are about on par performance wise.
Bit more money you can get Radeon HD 6950 2 GB which is around £200-210. If you are willing to spend up to £300 then the GeForce GTX 570 would be a good option (I would get the 570 over the 580, don't think the 580 justifies the cost), better option instead of the 580 would be 2 x Radeon HD 6870 in CrossFire or 2 x GeForce GTX 560 in SLI (which outperforms the 580 while costing less).

Re: new rig..its time
I really want a nice shiny rig but can't be arsed with the self building bollocks. I was looking at cyberpower website but I always get carried away and the rigs end up costing well over £1k. I don't har that sort of money, don't want a 36 month finance and not too sure I can afford £100 a month for the 10 month finance option.
Guess I'll just have to try saving!
Or I could spend £150 on some ram and a gfx card and make do for a while

Re: new rig..its time
I would offer to build you one but don't trust couriers anymore.
You can easily buy and build a base unit for less than £1k which will be good enough to run most games for the next 3 years (possibly more).

If you could get me the parts I would be happy to build it for you and drop it off on 20 November for the Palace match at Leicester.

Looking at my bank balance maybe we should arrange this to coincide with the leicester v palace match next season
