You'll need a cooler for your CPU as it's OEM. Also change the RAM for the Kingston. Finally, 600W is more than enough for your spec, you don't NEED 700W.

Depends on what you want to use it for? If gaming then the GPU is midrange.

I was planning on buying one of those OCZ kits today as you can apparently overclock the nuts off them.. Plus they are only £66.99 ATM!

Why do you think the Kingston is better?

I was also under the impression that 1333Mhz is all one would ever need with i7..?

I said that because the Kingston was faster and only cost a little more, but not that the OCZ has been reduced, you might as well go for that.
