Is this build ok? Is there anything you would change? My budget is £950 (including 2 monitors).

That msi board is no good, you wont find SLI support on the MSI website, its Actually smaller than a normal ATX board, its not a great overclocker, its got a thin PCb and low grade components, also no other retailer I looked at says it supports SLI.

If you want a single GPU only system then look at the C45 board at £89 or for a real SLi/Crossfire board with quality components, thicker PCB, OC genie for simple overclocking then the GD53 is the minimum to look at.

Also the psu in that case is poor, try the coolermaster elite 430 bundle.

+1 for the suggestion to change the PSU, this one would be the one I would go for

As for the MSI P67A G45, may I ask what's wrong with this board - last I checked it is a good quality board that overclocks well and has unofficial support for SLI. Has something come out about it recently?

As for the GPU, it's pretty OK for the price (basically a heavily overclocked GTX 460), but if you could find the extra £14 I would go with this.

Also, I would go for this RAM instead of the kingston 1333MHz kit. However, if you are mainly gaming then I would suggest going for a 4GB kit like this and spend the money saved towards a HD 6950 2GB or GTX 560Ti graphics card.
