When I order I'm going for a similar build but if I were you i'd go for the ivy bridge i5 or i7 and a gtx 670 if its mainly for gaming and music. 16gb ram is abit overkill you only really need 8gb ram at 1600mhz. But the gtx 670 only loses around 10% power from it's bigger brother the 680 so performance wise it's pretty nice! and the i5 is a brilliant overclocker aswell, i'd assume you plan to OC since you got watercooling? Also you might wana consider the Cavier black 1tb hardrive for performance. Also if you up your PSU to 750w you have the option to go SLI/Crossfire saving you money in future when games get more demanding instead of forking out on anther £250-£400 gpu.

I'm just repeating what the pro's like Keynes and Wolv have said.

Hi thanks for the feedback, I have modified the hardrive to the Cavier Black just now, think im gonna happy with everything else, i chose 16gb ram just for the sake of it really, it will always be a plus in the future
