It looks fab but to save some money, remove the watercooler (if you're not overclocking) change the processor to a quad core (the hex core will make no difference in terms of frame rate) and add the larger capacity Caviar Black.

I was thinking about change processor to x4 but there is just 30 pounds difference... same as cooler, 30 pounds from Triple Copper Heatpipe Cooler...

not question of price really. And that makes £60 u can spend on upgrading psu to incorporate a second 5870 in xfire.
