Gone and done it at last!!!!! gaming Build

well after lots of looking and asking questions i have finally gone and ordered all my bits.
Firstly big thanks to all that answered my previous posts, Stulid the man in particular.

Will try and take some pics ( thats if i ever work out how to do it)when all the bits come, and I'm sure i will be asking loads more during the build.

List of components

Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) ** B3 REVISION.
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Akasa AK-CC4005SP01 Venom Nano CPU Cooler
GeIL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channe
Zotac GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Coolermaster Silent Pro Modular 850W Power Supply
Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
2 x Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM in raid
Sony Optiarc AD-5260S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter
Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced Nvidia Dominator Case
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

I may in the near future also add a Akasa AK-FN059 120mm Ultra Quiet Viper Cool Fan to the cpu cooler to have a push/pull set up if it needs it.

I plan to build the system outside the case, check its all ok then make it all nice and tidy inside the case. i want to make sure it runs stable for a few months before looking into overclocking anything, and then in 6 months time add another Gtx 570

Heres to I hope a great system and easy build for a first timmer!!!!;)

Just a quick thought, with the ssd its best not to put too much on it right.
Was thinking of
Windows 7
Black ops
Is there anything else i should put on it or leave it at that.
 
It was around the £1200 mark, some parts from other suppliers, the main bits from OCuk.
Hope it will last me a few years now, worked my butt off the last 4weeks, good old overtime, i gave 65 % of my extra o.t. i earnt to the misses to keep her happy. the other 35% is this build.
