Looks ok,consider getting caviar black HDD for a little bit extra performance but not imperative.
Also worth another £5 for silver warranty.

I've taken your advise with the warranty but the Caviar Black is a bit expensive at the moment but i will probably upgrade the HDD when the time comes. Can you think of a good one that is a bit less expensive for now?

Also what other games do you play on it an how well do they play?

The Caviar Green is absolutely fine, it may not load up your computer the fastest but it's good for gaming. My games run without any issues on it (Dawn of War 2, Starcraft 2, Napolean: Total War, Mafia 2, World of Warcraft, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Civilization V, Dead Island, Amnesia the Dark Descent and Magicka).
