£200 for a GTX560ti is too much, this is faster and a little cheaper - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=gx-147-ok&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

this psu - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=ca-037-cs&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

so thats some money saved:)

let us know if he wants to drop to the lower price, as theres a few things that can be done to chop £££ off.

such as this z68 board for £100 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=mb-368-gi&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

which is packed out with features for the price.

• sli/crossfire at 8x/8x
• ssd caching, lucid and quicksync.
• msata port on the pcb.

Thanks stulid!

Swapped them over and at a cool £999 now!

What else can we save on... I know we can scrub the SSD if needs be, can also scrub the Headset and opt for a more budget KB/Mouse too

Unfortunately the SidewinderX4 is out of stock.
 
can't you get it all shipped to you thus saving the delivery?

mouse this ? I have the non-x version, not sure on the difference.

but for mouse, keyboard and headset you really need to go into a shop and have a 'play' to see which you prefer.
