The graphics card is way underpowered. You won't get good framerates in most games or only at very low settings. Atm my preference would be at least a NVIDIA 660 or whichever AMD card is as fast. Everything else is just too slow, especially since you are pairing it with a pretty fast CPU.

If it just says 700w PSU, then it's most likely a generic PSU worth avoiding. It seems clear you're using some pre built site to config your PC. Look for a PSU from corsair/antec/seasonic/xfx, a 550-650w would be more than enough for that build. GPU is on the weak site, try to step it up to a 7770 or 7850 if possible.

For £600!? Aw hell no. Both the GPU and CPU are underpowered (don't buy non-K variant procs) and you could do better than that for that price. Here ya go;
£659 for this beast
Intel i5-2500K (3.10GHZ)
16GB DDR3, 1333MHZ Fast Access Branded RAM

It uses older generation components, but faster ones. Especially the GPU is far better.
If you buy the components separately and either put them together yourself or ask/pay a friend that knows how to do that you can save even more money or make it even faster, whichever you prefer.

Yup, you can most likely save a lot more cash if you build your own. The 5xx series still kicks ass, especially compared to that god awful 7750, and it the 2500k is toe-to-toe with the 3570k and absolutely destroys the 3570nonK since it can't be OCed all that much. 4Ghz++ on air is effortless on the K chips :)

This was going to be my recommendation as well. I threw together a quick one based on the eBay PC someone posted below, didn't get a chance to delve deep into it since I'm running out the door, someone tweak it if it can be made better please. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/AIqx
