Thanks again both for your posts.

I've sent an email off to overclockers for some of their recommendations though know they're going to be looking at it from a business point of view.

The email looked a bit like (the two monitors aren't really on the way)

A huge variation in my original post now going down the I5 route. If either of you are able to quote\build\resource components for a PC which will play any game without struggling and boot before I've turned it on (obviously I jest) donations of appreciation will be sent your way
