* Swapped out the GTX 670 you posted to the Gigabyte Windforce. Mainly due to the fact that it has 3 fans. Better cooling = better overclock :)
* Changed the i5 2550k to a i5 3570k because the new batch of SandyBridges overclock poorly and the i5 3570k will take advantage of the Z77 motherboard.
* Switched a new motherboard in, as listed above by stulid.
* Added the case you chose. Looks a fantastic case.
* Power supply put in. Modular and will allow to SLi in the future.
* Upgraded the SSD to a better and higher capacity one.
* Changed the HDD to a cheaper one (but still performs the same).
* Put in a cheaper Blu-Ray drive.
* Swapped out the RAM for a cheaper kit. Still great, and the difference between 1866MHz and 1600MHz is minimal, unless benchmarking.

Mega, thanks. Looks like the ud5h is the way forward then as everyone keeps suggesting it so may as well jump on the bandwagon. Going to amend basket. Do you reckon i should be able to pick it all up at the shop tomorrow on the day?
