Great spec! :)

However, unless you plan to overclock the specification choose an i7-2600 and not a 2600k. The CPU's are identical except the "k" version is unlocked for overclocking.

I'd also consider AMD's new 6*** Series Graphics Cards over the 5*** Series.

The 5970 is quicker than any of the current 69** cards isnt it? its a duel GPU right?

Its only £100 more in the build with a 6970 so cheaper than getting two of those and its going to be enough power for me for quite some time i would think.

Would the 850w PSU be ok for this card?
