£1,400 buget

Well seeing as ethermasters spec has 2x 280x toxics your argument is moot, if the £1500 is too much could cut back from the toxics and save some money to bring it closer to the £1400 mark. the 7990 you speced has gone up by £20 so you're spec is the same(ish) price as ethermasters.

Crap only just seen ethermasters spec!

Yeah that is a pretty sweet spec.

RAM should be quicker! I'd hate to spend all that money on a PC and only get 1600 RAM.

I agree on the 750D and the ram but maybe not the PSU, corsair pretty much lead the way on that front and the 860 gives a better power output too.

The Antec would be a good unit, Corsair's PSU's are riddled with issues. Despite owning one a Corsair unit (cheap on MM) I'd have an Antec over most units anyday.

Here is something I would do. Everything has good warranty/reliability with close RMA hubs.

I would rather RAID0 two 120GB drives and reap the extra speed than use a single 240GB drive.

I'd also rather have twice as much real total video ram in a 7990 than an essentially shared 3072GB.

The board comes with a free cooler which will be fine for your needs, at least for the now, CPU is OEM to suit.

The price could be brought down a little, tweek if you must :) and don't forget to pick up another 7990 in the future! They don't hold their value that well so could be done relatively cheap in a year or so...

Well going quad-fire would require a much higher watt PSU(1kw+), the sea sonic you selected may be just about OK for one card but would suggest 700-750w.
On top of the PSU not being up to the task of 2x 7990 the motherboard isn't really suitable for the job either.
 
Yes a higher wattage PSU would be needed if he doubled up on the 7990 later on. But that's later, no need for it now.

Right now the PSU would run everything at maximum efficiency.

And a new motherboard as then d3hp isn't suitable for xfire even tho it says its compatible.
What's the point of spending £130 on a PSU now only to have to replace it down the line, a psu (at least a good quality one which the seasonic is) is meant to last you much longer than the CPU/GPU/etc.

That board only supports x16/x4 and for the cash being spent, you'll definitely want a better board.

I'd go for the Antec 750 Gold over the HX+!! £10 cheaper too!

yes, that board will be fine, but your SSD needs to be changed. Get the 840 EVO instead. Newer & quicker tech with rapid mode which can double read/write speeds.
