Specs are as follows:

Corsair carbide 500R case
OCZ ZS 650W PSU
Intel I5 3570k CPU (will be clocking it to 4ghz, maybe 4.2)
Gigabyte Z77 D3H motherboard
Prolimatech Megahalem CPU Cooler
Samsung Green 8GB RAM
KFA2 2GB GTX 670
Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Intel 330 series 120GB SSD
Windows 7 64 bit home premium

BenQ 2420T
Micrsoft sidewinder keyboard
Logitech MX performance mouse (already own)
Creative A60 2.0 speakers (will use a headset more often anyway)

Honestly cannot wait for it to arrive :) I'll be free of my Imac 8,1 at last. Good computer sure, horrible for games.

So what do you all think with my eventual outcome?

*I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has offered advice on this forum. It's been much appreciated. A lot has changed on what I think of hardware and price/performance stuff. Originally I was after 3960X's with GTX 690's and the like. If i'd have waited another year and not had your help, i'd have wasted thousands out of ignorance. Massive thank you :)

Looks awesome mate, What fans have you got for the Megahalem?

Heh can't remember. Just looking forward to it. Ended up deciding on a lesser motherboard because I thought by the time i'd want a GPU in SLI i'd probably be looking at a different type of mobo (not socket 1155).

Anyone know if there's a cheaper alternative for the 3d than the nvidia glasses by the way? Don't want to purchase those yet but will want to utilise 3d somewhen.
 
Look into something called Tri def. It is used with some monitors to give 3D. I have it with my SA700, it is ok but I think the Nvidia system works best.
 
I think you might have overspent on the RAM. That samsung stuff is good and overclocks well but that's not really relevant on this socket. Money saved could have got you a modular PSU instead.

That's just nit picking though. Nice collection of parts :)
