Hi im new to the forums, been reading them for ages but only just registered to post 
Sooo ya anyways, iv ordered a load parts for the build, these are the main ones.
Asus ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £275.74 1
Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £149.78 1 £149.78
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - OEM £142.97 1
Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850HXUK) £122.54 1
Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (PVT36G1600ELK) £110.62 1
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD1002FAEX) £76.59 1
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B CPU Cooler (Socket 775/1156/1366) £38.29 1
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - Retail
I also already have a soundcard (xonar essence stx) and will be using my samsung 1920x1080 monitor.
Now what i was thinking is, the 850 watt psu is currently out of stock, and im sure i dont actually need 850w even if i choose to crossfire down the road,
So what i could do is swap it for the corsair 750HX save £20 drop the 1TB WD drive which i would have had to partition like 2-3 times, and go for a 1TB F3 & 500GB F3 for the same money.
Would i be better of changing my RAM?
Incase it matters, Main use for PC is pure gaming and some internet and movies/music, i plan to OC my cpu "hopefully" to around 4 ghz, and id like to abuse that Asus warrenty and take that 5870 as close to 1 ghz core as possible.
Also if their is any other ideas/advice/changes due to conflicts of hardware etc, please do advise me on this.
Regards Paul.
