General thoughts? I found the graphics card the hardest to choose as I currently use a 4870 and am happy with it, and so I didn't know how much to spend.

I wouldn't say that, any comments appreciated no matter how critical.
I did see the bundle in the past but didn't see it when putting it together just now, my impatience got the better of me.

Sorry yeah I left it out as it is really cheap haha honestly I use steam for all my games, so a cheap drive is ok with me.

I rang up and changed my order - they were really nice about it.

Thanks for all the advice, like I said, I am not very experienced with these things.
It was a bit of a change of trousers situation when you pointed out the rather significant performance difference. And I have taken on board the PSU choice
