Looking to buy new Gaming rig. Need help

[Deleted]

Hey guys,

so im looking to buy a custom made PC made for gaming and recording. something on the cheaper side of things as im not made of money but that can handle all the newer games coming out soon on ultra graphics if possible. Such as Defiance, Bioshock Infinite and The Elder scrolls online when it eventually comes out. I want to be able to run those games with no issues on high settings and be able to record them to as I have a small YouTube channel which I do as a hobby of mine from time to time. So basically iv been looking around on the internet and found this http://www.chillblast.com/yogscast.html
The yogscast one which to be blunt im not a huge fan of them by a long stretch so im not just looking at it because their name is on it. My first thought was that they play Minecraft and can record Minecraft at a great quality so I looked their to get the specs of the PC they used. However iv been looking around some more and iv put one together on PCspecialist.com which I can link under this post, to have similar specs to the Yogscast one but slightly better ? Again im not to sure as im no expert here anyway to not make this post any larger I need help on putting something together. Whether I could get what I want/need for a cheaper price than the one I put together on PCspecialist or if what I put together isn't what I need and needs altering slightly to better suit my needs. Id also like to mention that im from the UK and have a budget of anywhere up to around £700 ish.

Pc Specialist custom built one. Would this suit my needs ? And if so is it a good price or could I get it made cheaper anywhere else?

450W PSU might be a bit on the low side. It is lowest required for 660ti and it usually is good idea to give some extra, 550w+ maybe.
2x500GB hard disk, perhaps better get single 1GB+ hdd and add SSD later if it wouldn't fit the budget right now.
I can't tell you much about the rest.
