Check my basket before I buy!

Although I will need to wait a while for the PSU and the case to get back in stock... this is what I plan to buy ASAP. I want to spend £650 on the PC, not including P&P costs.I would be willing to go over budget by £10 or so and I would like to know if you'd make a changes.

What I 100% want this build to feature is an 2500k, a CPU watercooler and the Z9 case. Anything else, I'm up for debate.

I chose the PSU on the basis that I believe it would be powerful enough for me to add another 460 in the future, is this correct?

This PSU will be perfectly fine for that spec - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-117-AN&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1088
And will do two cards in SLI etc.

This overclocked XFX6870 is faster - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-190-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 The Antec PSU is still enough for two of these cards.

Retail CPU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-360-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1275
Has a longer 3year warranty, a heatsink and packaging if you want to sell it.

could always drop the CPU cooler and use the stock one for a mild overclock so you can get a gtx560ti but it will need that lepa 750w psu for 2 cards.
