Can you tell us what your budget is as people might be able to come up with a slightly better spec for you, also are you using a single of multiple monitors ?

What driver disc did you mean ? you will get the disc for your motherboard and GPU.

drop to a quad core CPU and use the cash for a better case

drop to the 1gb 560 unless you are on high resolutions over 1080p

£10 over budget but way better


Case
COOLERMASTER ELITE 310 BLUE CASE - better case for improved cooling, kinda necessary to stop your PC from overheating, id recommend adding fans to the 2 empty slots available (side and front) allowing for improved air flow, you may have an old PC with the right size fans (i think its 80mm slots on the case)

Processor (CPU)
AMD PHENOM II X4 955 (3.20GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3) - BLACK EDITION - no need for 6 core at your budget, its overkill anyway for anyone who gets it and most games only recommend quad core, but very few actually use them yet, its also clocked higher than your chosen 6 core and the next one up from this is only £6 if you can afford it

Motherboard
ASUS® M5A78L-M/USB3: M-ATX, USB 3.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s

Memory (RAM)
4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 2GB)

Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 - DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready - no need for 2GB unless on high resolutions, this will be fine for 1080p or below

Memory - 1st Hard Disk
500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM

Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£72) - much more reliable PSU and has some space for extra upgrades such as RAM or hard drive, although your mobo only has one space for graphics card so no SLi

Processor Cooling
SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£19) - very good CPU cooler to allow you to play much longer and allow it to last much longer

Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)

Network Facilities
ONBOARD 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs

USB Options
4 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD

NO OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIRED

Office Software
NO OFFICE SOFTWARE
