I was wondering how well you guys think these specs would run MTWII. I am not that great with Tech stuff so I am just looking for some guidance. Are these specs worth £500?

Wow, those are soo expensive! Well, they are probably really cheap for a pre-built system, but for £900 I got:

-Sapphire X1950XTX £300, ebuyer

-E6600 £220, Scan

-MSI 975X Platinum, £125 scan

-2GB (2x1 sticks) DDR2 800 Corsair 5-5-5-12 PC6400, £180

That leaves me £75 for a PSU. You see, if you build your own you really can get better than most of the top of the range Models from shops.
