So I can be bothered to write something now!
This will be my first build, hoorah, so expect death and destruction and general crapness... Also thanks to everyone who has helped me through buying/choosing parts and advice, aswell as selling me them
Main mentions would be 5UB, RJC, Cleeecooo and stulid for all the help!...Anyway the build will be starting shortly after Xmas when I can order the final parts from OcUK - So about 29th/30th I hope.
Here are the intended specs and shizzle like that (aka the stuff i'm going to wreck):

PSU: BeQuiet EP 600W 80+ Gold - £50 was a steal.
OS: Windows 7 - Once again cheers Its_me.
Case: Zalaman Z9+ - Beastly.

Well, I will be posting some pics of the stuff when it has all arrived. Will probably get a few snaps of the case when im home though for you, no idea why though, all you need to do is check the OcUK page!
Side note of the day: tomorrow guys, tomorrow!
Also if anyone would liek to donate some games to me to 'test out' my new rig feel free
A massive thanks to SuperTronNarwhal who gifted me Splinter Cell Conviction!
Notes on the parts so far:
Zalaman Z9+ is a very very nice looking case, comes with sticky plastic to keep it all shiny. Four fans included, 3 LED ones which is a real treat, they all look great I must say! The build quality is very good and is very sturdy! Steal for the price!
Kingston Grey looks very nice, shiny and all round good looker. Nice low heat spreaders too, very impressed.
BeQuiet EP 600W looks nice, finished in the very good looking black that BeQuiet products have.
