The graphics card's price:performance is terrible, buy an 8800GT and by the time it starts getting stressed by much (other than Crysis, but it's not a great game and noone will use the engine) you can get another, much better than the GTX, graphics card with the money you saved.

Also, unless you're using Vista 64 bit (which you probably aren't) you can only use 3 gigs of those 4 gigs of RAM.

Processor choice is ok, but if you're doing web design you really should be able to make your own PC and get something of similar specs at a few hundred pounds less. Hell, you could get two 21" widescreen TFTs and still come out £200 or so ahead.
