    Nothing wrong with that at all. Looks like a solid entry level i7 system that will be a solid platform to upgrade on in the future.

    That system will play anything you throw at it with high details for a while. When he needs to upgrade in two years or so it will just be a simple matter of slotting some RAM, a CPU or a GPU without needing to replace the whole system.

    It comes with a Windows 7 upgrade voucher for free
    So when windows 7 comes out I hand it in and get Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    PC Specs is nice, I don't like the nVidia 260 so much though.
    I would rather buy this if i was going to UK for +- same amount of money

    You have to add a motherboard to that as well.

    That's a good gaming PC.

    Your first upgrade in the future would probably be more RAM as needed, but RAM is pretty cheap, cheaper than some games! Other than that, it should last you two years quite easily before you have to start turning down graphics sliders.
