Will the components fit / work with each other?
Is there enough space in the case / cooling / wattage / etc?
Will this system be stable? Components of decent quality?

Mostly gaming, some artsy stuff (photoshop etc).
Absolutely NO radeon gpus, and no liquid cooling.

Cheers!

imo, the thermalright sb-e is a better heatsink
should find out if the 670 is the kfa2 oc edition or just the vanilla 670
for ssd, the cucial m4 or samsung 830 (not that the sandisk extreme isnt bad tho)
dont get a 'green' hdd as it spins slower (5900rpm) get a 7200 rpm drive
750w should be fine

Unfortunately my choices are limited to what is offered at the link i provided in the OP.
The 2 TB choice was due to the fact that system configurator did not allow me to add 2x 1tb drives, and the "green" was the only 2TB option if i wanted to go with SSD as well

ummm...you could try giving ocuk a call, they usually allow some components to be changed iirc

HMm maybe.

You said that other heatsink was better - does it mean the one i have in this combo wont work well enough?

just that the thermalright silver arrow sb-e is better
ummm...how should i say it...its like getting a car, a toyota is perfectly fine, but getting a merc is so much better...yea something like that ;p

i will see if OcUK will agree to change the fan to that, and give me non-green HDD then.

Anything else comes to mind?
