if you want crossfire(you have selected a crossfire motherboard) then the psu doesnt have enough pci-e connectors, and maybe power.

and are you going to overclock the 1055t cpu? if not get the 955be quad.

looks to be a good solid spec

I take it that you are going to use this for multi purpose roles and NOT a pure gaming rig?
hence the 2 optical drives?
 
Well, I don't have in mind use crossfire. I will change graphics card for a similar one, in 2 or 3 years.

I've selected that motherboard because it's a good one with SATA3 and USB 3.0. And it's about only £15 more expensive than non-crossifire, and I have the chance do use it in the future.

I'm not going to make OC, at least for the moment. Should I select a X4 instead a X6? I think that games and programs will come ready for 4 and 6 core, no? And it won't have problem with released games.

I will use PC for a general use, but, most of time, photos and games and internet.
