    The Q9550 is out of stock, but may return at a higher price, depending on whether it's a special offer or not. The reason for the higher Q9400 price is that Intel CPUs were price dropped recently, some may not have filtered through yet, while others have.
    The system you have chosen will play those games fine but to max out the detail settings on them and get smooth peformance I would recommend upgrading to this:

    The rest of the choices are excellent, barring the case, which could be far better.
    This case:

    and three of these extra fans:
    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=339056
    will be much better for a high end system like this.
    Avoid the high speed multi-LED case fans, they're really noisy.

    I forget if you are the member that was initially using Pixmania, if you were, the reason for me recommending the coolermaster was that Pixmania don't sell any decent cases, that was the best I could do.
