is using an older sandybridge cpu

either the other two look ok, but I honestly couldn't help you with where they stand price wise in terms of value for US pricing.
Also windows 8 is meant to be really really bad.

I am planning on getting a Linux OS

also 1 USD is .625 of a GBP, so 749 USD is = to 468 GBP and 619 USD is = to 386

You will find building a great rig is much more satisfying and will offer you way less headaches in the long run. I cannot reccommend a computer in a box for you, but I can offer you insight on a build.

Sorry, but you aren't getting an awesome rig for 1k, can you get a real decent one? Absolutely. These part above are everything you need to build an awesome rig. This is the exact rig I just built for a friend. It's a beast. it overclocked to 4.6 ghz on 1.34 volts and on that air cooler and under full load with prime95 it maxxed temps at 89 degrees on a single core, all other cores were lower. TJmax for that chip is 105 degrees and under full load I like to keep the temps under 95 degrees. There just isn't a need for watercooling on these Ivy Bridge chips so don't bother unless you are an actual exteme enthusiast. It's also very reasonably quiet.

The Superclock EVGA cooler hangs over the A1 DIMM slot but not the A2 slot, and this was my first build on a micro-ATX board so that's why I went with the low profile RAM, this is unnecessary I found out, so feel free to get ram with a heat-spreader.

Are all of those parts premium? Yes. Do you need to purchase those exact specs? No. Think of it as a jumping off point. But most importantly: Do your research!

Also, one of the most overlooked issues, if you have tidy cable management throughout your rig then you can achieve better airflow and more efficient air cooling, it doesn't take long and can be done with simple cable ties.

I meant in terms of I don't know if those prices represent good value in the US, sorry if that didn't come across.

I guess with my budget I am looking more for a really good computer then a super computer, my gaming Computer is a one of those pre-built home/office computers but I added better rams and a graphics card.

Ah, a SUPER computer?
I can help you there;

[Wolfshade]

One thing I would say is SDD for boot, os and applications, with traditional platters for storage
