I think this is a better choice for a PSU, as it has higher efficiency and is a bit cheaper:
XFX Pro 850W Core Edition £80

Don't really know if you really need an 850W PSU, but I can't be bothered to look into it.

There are probably a few other options for heatsinks which are cheaper, yet perform just as well if not better. Or more popular. Such as these:
Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler £36

Thermaltake Frio £39

Scythe Ninja 3 £40

Titan Fenrir Evo £37

850 watts is for sli of the 570 in future and the Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP seems a decent cpu cooler ta. I choose the psu because it seems the best quality at 850 watt.
 
Whats the computer to be used for?
Cos if its purely gaming then theres no point getting the i7 chip, just get the i5 2500k and save youself £80/£90
 
I have the advanced version of the case, and it's brilliant. Nothing wrong with the corsair psu, there well known for their reliability and quality as i'm sure you are aware.

Lucky him!
