Everything look okay? I WAS going to go for the 680 but I, like many other people just cannot justify the near £100 extra... I've heard there is very little difference in the two. Only a couple of FPS when it comes to gaming ( which is what i'm mainly buying this for ) Please tell me if I could improve on anything. Thanks. :D

The PSU would allow you to add a 2nd GTX 670 but the motherboard you have chosen doesn't allow you to SLI another GTX 670, I'd change the mobo as well as chosing the i5-3550 since you may not OC (looking at the choice of cooler). Indeed the GTX 670 is a choice, very good value for money.

What motherboard would allow it?

Great, cheers. Also, I need a monitor for my PC, would anyone have some recommendations? Need to be at least 20", Lesser response time the better obiviously.. Maybe around the £200-250 mark?

You can go with the IIYAMA monitors on the PCS website, I personally prefer 27''.

IIYAMA E2773HDS £239

Personally i'd opt for a TV which has a PC port in the back (or link through a HDMI cable) as it's quite convenient to have a tv and computer in the same spot. However you may have different opinions.

It depends on the resolution of the TV, I prefer a dedicated monitor. I have a plasma TV with HDMI entry and eventhough it is bigger than my 27'' monitor the quality/detail is not as good.
