get the modular version, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-052-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

then the 750w is only another £10 more http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-047-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

have you bought the other parts yet? if not go for the i2700k as its only a little more and comes with free bf3, alsomake sure the blue-ray is retail.
