Well, after searching all over the web I finally decided to just go with Overclockers, it cost £6 more and to be honest, I'd rather go with a company that has such good customer feedback and have one straight up delivery so its definitely worth paying.

What do you think of that setup guys?

Do you have a SATA hdd in your current PC you could use in the new PC? With the HDD prices as they are it seems like a ripoff to buy one when you don't have to. With the money you save you could pick up a 64gb SSD, or put a few extra beans in and get a 120gb.
Other than that it looks fine.

No I do not. I needed a whole tower. The only current machine I have is a Macbook Pro.

You should really really try to avoid buying a new HD right now. Try and recycle an old one or maybe pick something up second hand.

I have the money now and don't mind paying more to get it earlier rather than waiting. I need to build a PC for an assignment in the near future so I thought Id go the extra way and build something I'd use a lot for multiple things. It also means I can sell the console and make some money back. :)

Will you be planning to go SLi in the future, as the Asus card is a triple slot one and may cause cooling issues with 2 cards.

No. I just want a decent system that I can play games with and do my work on with no problem.

The GTX570 plays Skyrim on max settings which is good and the i7 2600k + 8GB RAM is good for other stuff. I went with Samsung on the hard drive purely on the basis that over the years they've come across to me as a far more reliable company than Seagate, of whom i've had a few problems with products wise and I really can't be bothered having to have to send things back and forth, as I'm living away from home at university. I can always add a 120GB SSD later on to put my OS on. Its not a priority at the moment though. :p

I already ordered my listed spec earlier, I was quite happy with it myself and I can always add more RAM and an SSD later. I can also then upgrade the GPU when the newer cards come out and the prices drop :p

The GTX570 is good enough to play Skyrim on max settings, the CPU is good and the Motherboard is good so overall I'm happy with it :)
