With 900£ of budget i think you can get a HD6850 which is better than HD5770.
Rig is fine by the way you can play games at ease on a 20-21' inch monitor.
Though you should purchase a better hard drive, SATA-III 64MB cache.

No. It's far too expensive.

Anyone know of a European site like newegg?

Overclockers do a good range of pre builds which aren't that much more money then if you were to build it yourself.

A few British components sites are ebuyer, dabs and overclockers. There's quite a few others aswell but I generally hear more bad service stories from them. As for prebuilts, I believe overclockers does a few, as do companies like novatech. But then, I don't buy prebuilts, so I can't comment too much there.

CPU is fine keep that and for the MOBO crusty will tell he is the AMD guy. RAM is too much imo so you can cut that to 6GB.
Graphics card HD6870 or a 6850 depends on the budget and monitor size.
Already told you to change the HDD.
