OK Guys firstly I'd just like to apolagise if I have made quite a few posts about computer builds but it's nearing the end and I've made a final PC build so any feedback, changes or comments is greatly appreciated.

Nice build, I also have the XFX 6870 and boyyyyy! ITS AWSOME! especially on 3DMark 11.

btw, i personally think you should get the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T and overclock it to 3.5GHz at stock voltage easily like i have. Plus you have 2 extra core's :) or is this going out of your budget?
 
Thanks for the quick replies guys! ok so i took a look at stulids post and ive changed the case from the Antec 902 to the Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced Dominator Case - Black.

I have also changed the processor from the exact model but to the 3.2Ghz version instead of the 3.4Ghz. I have now got £757.09 Total Including VAT and Shipping.

Thank you for your post RJC, I still have the XFX 850W selected because i dont think that the 650W you recommened would be powerfull enough for the specs (considering i will eventually buy another 6870 and go onto crossfire) maybe a 750W?
 
650w will be fine for crossfire 6870, looking at reviews these will pull (including system) 449w ~
 
Okay. I reduced the RAM from 8GB (2x) to 4GB but im still unsure about the powersupply. I know you said that crossfired 6870s will run at about 450W but what about the rest of the system? all of that will have to run on 200W, plus the CPU will be gulping up about 125-140 of that ? =/

Price at current: £717.10 Incl. VAT & Shipping

450W Includes the system :)

(The test system used a Intel 970 cpu)

I did run 2 5850 and at full load, Prime and 3D WIn mark running I was pulling 430w from the mains.
