Great spec :) Are you wanting to SLI/Crossfire later on down the line? If yes, you will need a larger PSU, if not, bump the PSU up to the 650W corsair, more reliable and looks better :)

nice rig

as corfate says bump to the 650w corsair, looks ten times better in ya rig.

and i'd drop the liquid cooler completely, are you wanting to overclock?

personally i'd also upgrade the case to a one with slightly better cooling, such as the cm690II or above.

STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER
CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£69)
COOLERMASTER CM STORM TROOPER - GAMING ENTHUSIAST CASE

& i saved £5.

You have went from one extreme to the other as far as the cooler goes,I would get the Triple copper cooler as Corfate suggests,also I dont see anything wrong with the original case you chose.

Why not 680 ? considering it's better than 7950 and if i remember correctly it still costs cheaper

Well it's still £76.00 more, & this graphics card can play anything out there , so I think i'll be very satisfied :)
Probably in few years I'll upgrade to a bigger PSU & Buy a second card.

Yes i did mean that
and that was written before AMD took their pinky out of their backside and lowered the prices, so at that point the 680 was the cheaper but better option
