After a lot of input from these forums, ive decided to go for the following spec, the only 2 things im not sure on is the mobo + ram. The PC is simply for gaming.
Heres what i have so far. Willing to spend about £50 more on upgrading the mobo/ram if need be.

I did look at that board but one of the reviewers said "CPU overclock slightly higher than gigabyte but lower than P5Q." So opted for the p5q
 
Can i ask, how does it make cable management easier? havnt looked into it.
£850 is really my budget so something like this?

Planning to order it end of this week.

Regarding the mobo choice. Either the one i currently picked http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-280-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1155 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-277-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1155

Both Asus P5Q just one has less sata + only 1 pci x16. I only game at 1650 x 1080 so i dont think crossfire is worth it at that resoultion right?

If thats the case you reckon the cheaper mobo would be more ideal?

Also i wouldnt need to flash the bios for it to recongise the mobo right?

Im also thinking of changing the PSU, what do you think? is the Coolermaster one fine? or should i get a differant make or high watt.

Last thing is regarding the CPU Cooler. Would this one be fine as well? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-002-SB just a bit cheaper.
