1600MHz Dual Channel Kit, would have been better, rest is good, Please remove competitors name before you get in trouble.
 
M3A UCC

- Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology
- 4 x DDR3 DIMM slots
- Supports DDR3 1800(OC)/1600/1333/1066/800 non-ECC, un-buffered memory
- Max. capacity of system memory: 16GB*


*Due to the chipset limitation, if you adopt 4GB or more memory, the actual memory size may be less than the installed memory size.

If you allready have 8gig & are adding more then get same speed as your ram. But 8gig is enough for most people.

ok thanks, how do i find what my current ram make is?
 
What are you paying for the parts?

If you are into video editing maybe consider switching to the EVGA 460 SOC for £120. You can overclock it further to close to 6870 performance but it will also give you cuda support. Adobe and a few other programs can use cuda to reduce encoding times ;)

Oh OCuk are doing the XFX 650W MODULAR PSU for the same price as the Corsair one you have chosen.

Comes to around 270 for everything but still looking for the best versions of everything, I am also going to use the comp for gaming
 
Go for the 460 SOC, from what I read it can be easily overclocked to be the same as the more expensive cards because of cuda, I am getting one my self for gaming.
