Well, it was 798 before delivery at least :) Thoughts on this build? Could i save money with the same performance/features and future proofing? Or could i do even better for £800?

Been jumping around different budgets for a while now and this seems to be the sweet spot before stuff starts to lose a lot of value when comparing performance to price
 
Or a well known competitor is selling the Antec TruePower New 650W for 69.99 with free shipping and it IS modular (actually hybrid modular). Both are better than OCZ.
 
I've been playing with the idea of trying to fit a 570 in for under £800 also, being more of an nvidia guy..considered the 560ti too; which would allow me to add something extra from the money saved..who knows what though!

Feels like im close

edit: will check out other psus then, modular is nice as i love a tidy case
