Question Advice on a new PC

Had a quote for the following PC of £883. Just wanted some advice on whether its a good machine for the money or not. It's from the link below but I asked them to change the hard disk from 120GB to 160GB 8mb cache and also downgrade the graphics card to a FX5200 as I don't play games, therefore I don't need a high spec card. They can also change the TFT to a LG L1710B, which has a DVI input for an extra £30.
