Thanks in advance for any feedback
 
think you should save £30 with this GTX470 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-135-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1810

Corsair ram, same speed rating and cas latency - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517 but a lower height profile to fit under silly large coolers.

and the motherboard only allows for one GTX470 card, so how about dropping the psu down in spec?

so with some changes,

Thanks stulid, I had gone with the EVGA for the warranty (had a few too many gfx cards fail) But now that the OCUK 470 is 175 its probably madness to pay £50 more. Do you know if those OCUK cards are decent build quality?
Thanks again.
