Hi, please give me thoughts on proposed rig. What cpu cooler should i get? I will probably add another 560ti at a later date.
Also, can I get away just with OEM windows 7 or should i get full retail?

Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Case
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Asus P8P67 PRO REV 3.1 Socket 1155 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Antec TruePower New 650W Modular PSU
MSI GTX 560Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card

should be fine with oem win 7, os + hdd bundle

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-000-OP choose the 1tb hard disk.

if you do want to go sli in future will prob be better going for 750/850w psu
 
Build looks ok though as above I'd look at ASRock Z68 mobo, higher wattage PSU for future SLi, cooler wise Gelid Tranquilo pretty decent, Re windows basically OEM ties it to that particular PC (in theory) whilst retail can be transferred
