I personally like to choose products with longer warranties for slightly more money (or less sometimes).
670 WF cooler 3x will keep the card cooler, is quieter and comes with 3 years warranty but is £40 more.
Vertex 4 costs £1 less, has a 5 year warranty whereas the Sammy 830 has 3. People often stay away from OCZ because they have a bad history with reliability, but I personally think they have changed now and if it does break thats what the warranty is there for.
The Samsung HDD has a 3 year warranty and is £8 more than another 1TB HDD that has a 2 year warranty.
I like the Zalman Z9+ because it has 4 fans, a fan controller, and a temp sensor all for under £50 but the case is really personal preference.
OCUK memory is just whatever memory they have in stock at the time, its not unbranded like some people seem to think / I used to think. Its £5 cheaper than the Geil stuff.

If you don't want SLI get these instead:
