I would just like a bit of feedback/advice on this build im planning on buying. IS there anything you would swap out but i cant go over £1300 this lot atm comes to £1312 so im already a squeeze over. but that does inc delivery.

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz
2x Asus GeForce GTX 560Ti DirectCU II TOP 1024MB
Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68
Corsair Force Series 3 120GB
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II
Silverstone Raven 3 RV03B-W
Cooler Master GX 750W
Samsung SH-B123L/BSBP 12x BluRay ROM / 16x DVD±RW
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Corsair A70 High-Performance Dual Fan CPU Cooler
 
What are you planning to use this computer for?
Gaming I assume by the SLi 560s? If so you can drop the 2600k back to a 2500k as it offers nothing in terms of gaming performance above the 2500k
those PSUs dont have the best performance, use the money saved to get either a Corsair, Antec, XFX, Lepa or OCZ ZS
SSD Id get the Crucial M4, it has a touch more storage, £5 cheaper, is in stock and doesnt use the sandforce contoller which has had a few issues
Re gfx cards, personally Id go for a single 570, the 560s may have more power but youll suffer from micro stutter from having 2 cards, plus dual cards = heat and noise
 
This 580GTX is the same price as 2 560ti's so i reckon you'd be better of going with this to be honest like the poster above says. Also has a bit more VRAM which will be usefull if you're planning to play big games like BF3 and probably Skyrim.

EDIT: Also would be cheaper if you're not fussed about the game which you can sell
