I was given the following build a good few month ago for around £550, it was slightly over my budget. I was just curious as to whether theres any alternatives to these parts which have since came down in pirce since then. Can anyone tweak it about for me please? or is it fine as it is? (i know nothing of computers as you can probably tell) THANKS

Maybe change the gpu , power supply and HD . So u cant have any problems with high end games . But overall (im not that pro in hardware stuff) i think its a really fine computer.

From the getgo it's fine. If you want to drop in price then the mobo can be replaced with a mATX, and you can also simply drop your RAM for the cheaper "value" RAM for a few bucks saved.

That won't run wow anywhere near ultra.

an athlon II x2 and a 5570?...
no.. just no

The build in your first post will do fine for wow, though you forgot a cpu cooler (hyper212+ is a good cheap option that will let you overclock to 4.5ghz)... and the 5850 isn't a great choice for gpu, though it can run wow fine... would be better to get a 6870 or 6950 if you plan on playing other games (in the future?)
Also I wouldn't get an xfx psu... should stick with a more reliable brand like antec or corsair. Not sure what site you're ordering from but you can get one of those for even cheaper. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/600w-...-quiet-fan-atx <- that's a solid choice for your setup.
If you need to shave some off the price you can get a cheaper case... the HAF one are a bit on the pricey side.. you can get ones with good airflow/etc for half the price.

If you want to cop out on looking for a case and grab the cheapest, yes. It's the budget case though tbf. Good alternatives will vary in availability. OP should link where he's buying from and we might be better suited to help then.
