Whats the system going to be used for, as going for the 2500k is sometime more than adequate in certain circumstances.
 
Well going to be doing video editing, and some gaming as well !

Hence the reason for the i7 2600k

Cooler, I will change to the h80

is the memory mobo combo ok ?

also the graphics card, will it be able to handle all the games ?

Memory motherboard should be fine, you will have no issues regards the heat speeders hitting the cpu cooler.

The GPU should be fine for all games.
 
This is the my final choice for my build below, before I order tonight or tomorrow any last changes I can make ?

if you're spending £100 on the h100 you may as well spend the little extra on a proper wc kit such as one of the ek ones, the h100 prob isn't really worth it over the h80 if you want to stick to closed loop and not go custom.

you also get free shipping incase you weren't aware ;)

Cool, yeah I know i get free shipping :p

What about graphics card ? 560 or 570?
 
if you're looking at the £215 560 may as well pay the little extra and get the 570(if it fits in budget obviously.

the asus direct cuii(£245) if not planning on sli(triple slot cooler so will restrict air flow in sli), the msi £260 if you plan on sli.
