£2000 system

[slothlust]

hello, everyone. i've got £2000 to spend on my new system. these are the components i have chosen so far.

I Would like you to tell me if there is something better i could buy, in the same price range. and say what do u think about those components. Thanks guys.

1. Core i7 920 --------------------- [£210]
2. Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 --------- [£180] ---------- (i wanted rampage II EX or P6T6 but SATA III and USB 3.0 won me over)
3. Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 ------- [£435] ---------- (CrossFire in the future)
4. Kingston 128Gb SSD ------------ [£170] ---------- (any good? Raid 0 in the future. Btw, are there any 6Gb/s SSDs yet?)
5. Samsung XL2370 --------------- [£265] ---------- (are Iiama's better?)
6. OCZ Z Series Gold 1000W ------- [£180] ---------- (isn't 1000W too much?)
7. Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler ----- [£38]
8. Coolermaster HAF 932 ---------- [£105] ---------- (is there something cheaper that will fit HD 5970 and with a good air flow?)
9. DVD RW Lightscribe ------------- [£20]

10. I cant decide on RAM. I was thinking of OCZ Blade Series 7-7-7-24 1600mhz (is that any good?) or 2100mhz 9-9-9-24
and also, can u explain why the latencies are higher whith higher clock speeds? i mean lets say for 1866mhz is
8-8-8-24 good?

(£1600 overall) but I might add another SSD

thanks for reply and advice. However i was wondering about that psu, i heard a lot of ppl saying that corsair is better than ocz but looking at the specs

corsair HX1000W :

1. Combined 80A of power on +12V
2. 80%+ energy efficient
3.True independent dual rail design

ocz Z series Gold 1000W :

1. +12VDC @ 83A
2. Ultra-High Efficiency (over 90%)
3. Single Rail Design

So ocz has more Amps, is more Efficient, has a single rail design (which i heard is better, am i correct?)
