Im putting all this into a p182 case with a xfi sound card i already have, couple of questions should i take the Corsair Tx 750w instead of the Hx 650 to give myself some future proof wattage wise. The reason ive gone for a pre overclocked bundle is i dont have the free time to spend clocking it myself and im fairly lazy :p .

Also the Hdd's the smaller one is for windows 7 and my games as that is the going to be the main use of the pc and the larger being for storage not sure i need 1Tb but since when did that stop anyone. Is this the best way of doing it or should i just partition the 1tb and use it for everything, maybe waiting till i can grab a SSd at a fair price ?

Wondered if someone could recommend some nice quiet fans to as replacement for the ones i have in my case there 120mm x 2-3. Any other feedback is welcome im gonna be ordering this before the end of today hopefully.

upgrade to 5870 and try to get hold of a SSd, the itnel one which is under 100 quid the X38 is a really good SSD and can hold ur OS and a lot of software!
 
You'll notice a difference but the it won't be much compared to getting a decent SSD as a boot drive.
I recommend an SSD personally, as i can't see the 5870 being worth it in this situation.
