Build time proof for a while?

[ScouserSte]

Hey, about to buy this build, how time proof would you say it is and do you think I'm getting the most for the money? (Don't need a HD, disk drive or monitor)

Looks good to me... Should last you a while

That will last ages, you can easily add another GTX580 in SLI with that motherboard and PSU.

As above but:

You have 2 bundles which both include coolers - so you're paying for one cooler you wont need.

You may be able to negotiate with OcUK to add the H80 to the clocked bundle and knock off the price of the A50.

This will also keep your clock under guarantee as you may lose the clock's warranty if you change the cooler (i would check with them).

Try a post in the Customer Services Forum - link - they're very open to adaptations to builds as long as you give them prior notice. There may not be much difference in price but if they clock the system with the H80 at least the clock will be guaranteed with that cooler.

As an aside, have you considered buying separate bits and clocking the system yourself as it's a very simple process with the SB and would be considerably cheaper?
