Hey guys, I'm very close to ordering this system. I'll use it mainly for photograph processing on photoshop and lightroom, and gaming as well, stuff like Starcraft, COD and maybe some MMOs. I'd like to keep the price to about £620 ex vat, as Shipping and my case will bring it up to about £700 ex vat total.

I'm putting all of this inside an NZXT Vulcan so the mobo needs to be matx, decided on that case. I don't need HDDs, i have two 160gb drives I'm going to raid. Is there anything I have missed, or anything you would change?

Looks good, could save £15 by going down the air cooling route, such as an Akasa Venom

A GTX480 is faster than a GTX560Ti and is cheaper.

Aye, 6950 or GTX 480 would be better for your money.

But with your board I assume you want the option for SLI/crossfire in the future, may need to upgrade PSU if you swap for a better GPU.

Nah, will only need a different PSU if he wants SLI.
