16GB of RAM, you sure? wouldnt 4 or 8GB of Corsair XMS3 be more than enough?

Nor sure about much else, but Sandybridge CPUs run very cool, you'll only need a Corsair A50 to get a good overclock.

I'm confused Stu, it only says 8GB on the spec? D:

Or am I blind in some way?

Look at the price, its a multiple of two X 8GB kits.

Same with the two 27" screens.

Oh yes, I am tired, so please forgive me.

One thing I was going to ask, 8 should be ok?

Also psu now at crazy power, what happen to 350w being ok?

I plan to do some over clocking, see how much easier it is now days be nice to get 4.5 ghz

Probably.

4.5ghz is very easy on an i5 2500k.

You don't need a silver arrow for that, but if you want to push the overclock, the SA and the GD65 will give you at least 4.8GHz.

8GB is enough for pretty much anything. More if you are doing lots of virtualisation, but then a 2700K would be better.

The rest is pretty bling, so it's just a matter of how much you want to spend. Not sure about the case itself and if it will accept a big cooler and big card. But by the sound of it it should be ok.

The TX is not modular, so you may want to look at the XFX 750 or the Antec 750 which are a little bit cheaper, and more modular.
