So if I'm sticking to AMD, I'm alright with the Z77?

If you are sticking with a single GFX card, then the Z77-D3H is fine.

If you do want two cards then a 8X/8X motherboard is optimal.

Is the TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter (TL-WDN4800) [TL-WDN4800] worth it over the Asus PCE-N15 300Mbps 802.11B/G/N Wireless PCI-E Network Adapter [PCE-N15]?

How long are things usually on pre-order for?

I have no idea about those types of things.

As for when something comes into stock, please ask in the customer service section.
 
Everything except Windows 7.

Haha, tired eyes. Well spotted!

My hopes of getting this on finance have been thwarted so looks like it's back to the original plan of buying this in pieces. Guess I'll start with the PSU! :p

Get the bits that don't date quickly first (PSU, case, dvd drive etc).

Then when you see killer offers on bits (free delivery for you) get other bits (the Kingston RAM is a great price).
 
PSU and headset first I think stulid as the PSU is on deal and the headset will get immediate usage anyway.
 
I'm not sure where my order stands at the moment. May have got one, maybe not.

Hello again everyone, I wasn't able to buy this initially due to a few reasons but now that the expense that is December is out of the way, I will be looking to purchase the system within the next month.

Are there any obvious changes that people can recommend from the last update?

Thanks. :)
