Extra £20 over your £888 budget gets a proper i7 and a good X58 Matx motherboard and 6Gb of ram.
you wouldn't miss the SATA3.0 interface with that SSD, a Crucial C300 64Gb you probably would, I know I do!!!
I'd love to see you fit a none modular PSU in a V350

Any thoughts ona the EVGA X58 SLI Micro rather than the Gene? I've always liked eVGA and its cheaper.
Also I'm stuck with Win7 Retail. Switching parts out the cost goes up quite a bit - had to switch the 460 for a 5770.
