In the future when I get more money :> Overclock CPU and another 260 for SLI?

All sounds good, it should fly as it is

Although I would get an aftermarket CPU as i7 run very hot, especially if you want to overclock it to. The Noctua is very quiet and a bit more expensive, but both are good.

Noctua

Sunbeem Core Contact Freezer

But if you get the Sunbeam, make sure you get a bolt through kit like below as the push pin fittings are rubbish.

why u want go for SLI? (with 22'' monitor no point)

I thought that at first, but it's the fullHD model so it does 1920x1080.

Go for the oem version of the i7 CPU and get an aftermarket cooler, then get it overclocked

Also you can just go for a cheaper GTX 260 and quite easily overclock it to the same speeds as the one you've chosen, the zotac one is about £30 cheaper and wil clock to the speeds of the EVGA. You still get a 5 year warranty with Zotac.

Another one if you want to lower the price of the spec, change the mobo to this one
