My friend is looking to buy an I7 setup mainly for video / music editing but also with a bit of gaming too, we've come up with the following between us:

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM + Colin McRae Dirt 2 Full Game £199.99

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard £142.98

Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (TR3X6G1600C8) £126.98

Antec TruePower New Modular 650W Power Supply £86.99

OcUK Value ATI Radeon HD 4850 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £84.99

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ) £66.99

Antec 200 Two Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £37.98

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939 / AM2 / AM2+ / 775 / 1156 / 1366) £19.99

Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £17.99

Sub Total : £682.49
Shipping : £11.75
VAT : £104.14
Total : £798.38

Is there anything he can do to get it significantly cheaper? Also, are all the components ok or should he be looking at something different?

Cheers, yeah he liked the look of the case, he was planning on getting an LED fan to sit behind the front grill for some blueness. I shall inform him to get his credit card out!

Out of interest, if he goes for an AMD Phenom X4 965 Black Edition with dual channel memory what sort of performance hit would he be looking at. Can save around £100 that way.
