A special thanks to stulid and Ak!ta for helping me choose my components.

I need to clean my desk...
Time: 3-4 hours build, 1.5 hours fiddling + 8 hours on stabilisation.
Component list:
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 TOXIC 2048MB
Intel Core i5-2500K
Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s (hence no hard-drives in pic)
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Intel Z68
Lepa B-Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' (its super quiet).
Asus VH242H 24" Widescreen LCD
I have to give a special thumbs up for the case. Its a Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with a Fan Controller. This thing is brilliant. It has an extra LED fan on the side as well (I couldn't be bothered shutting down and taking a photo with the side on). Here's the crazy part it was £37.49 + Vat. The best case I have ever owned bar none.
