Hey all!

I'm planning on building my first computer soon, so I've been looking around for parts on Overclockers. I want the machine to be pretty powerful (Its primary use will be gaming), fairly future proof (So I've chosen a Crossfire-compatible mobo and a pretty powerful CPU), and I've got a budget of £750. Here are my choices:

Now I've got a few questions:
I don't know how much wattage I'll need. Have I chosen a good power supply?
Will it all fit in the case I've chosen?
Are there any better (Or cheaper) options?
If I want to overclock this, will I need anything extra?

Help is appreciated! Thanks! :D

Wow, I'm glad I came over here to ask you guys! That looks a lot better than what I had, so I'll probably be getting this, unless someone can sway me otherwise. I guess I can stretch my budged that extra £8, but I'd have to get it this week (A few of those are on offer at the moment). Thanks a lot!

I'm not looking to Crossfire immediately, but I may consider it in the future, so unless there's a better PSU for no more than that one right now I'll probably get a better one with a second GPU.

Pick this up for the gpu if you don't want to stretch or buy this week.

I really do want the best gaming performance I can get with my budget, so I'll probably get it all this week if I'm absolutely sure about it (I'm around 90% sure at the moment).

Also, the Radeon 6950 looks like a very long card - is it going to fit in the case?
