Looks like the time has finally come to replace this set up, but it's lasted me a while.

I've sort of got an idea as to what I want, but I'm struggling to find a good value PSU and I'm stumped for a motherboard, I literally got bored and stopped looking.

Any suggestions/changes/ideas would be appreciated.

Things I'm 90+% certain about:

1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-170-MS - £312
1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-404-IN - £180
1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-021-CS - £82
1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-255-SE - £73
1x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-003-OK - £14

Things which I'm considering but I'm not sure about:
Case: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-165-AN
Looking for something with seriously good airflow, this sounds like it fits the bill, conformation on that or modifications to it?

Not entirely sure if this memory is even compatible with an Ivy bridge, I'm pretty sure this would be an easy one to improve on, I'm pretty fail with memory.

Just throwing this out there, probably wouldn't need it as I don't really intend to overclock, but it's always nice to be safe.

As I mentioned, I'm pretty much stuffed for what current mobos/PSU's are decent, all suggestions welcome. As the title suggests, I'd be willing to pay around the 1.2k mark, or if anyone feels like putting something completely different together, give it a bash.

Thanks,

Stuart

great spec, wouldn't have 2 cards in it myself, not needed unless you need highest res on massive monitors with crazy fps, one works very well for me
 
Thanks for the reply. I like a few of the things listed there, not sure about the case though haha. I'll stick with the Nvidia I think. Any other suggestions on the case?

Thanks again!
