I am going to built my 2nd pc with a budget of a maximum of no more than £1,900!. So, my daughter can use my other pc sometimes.

I had decided to look and choose careful of my highest spec pc and are these look ok to go ahead with this order ?

I don't need overclock bundle as I do know how to overclock myself.
 
That looks good mate! ;) When you do get building, you will have to post some pictures up!
::Edit:: Would it be worth only getting 2 hdds and getting a SSD with the £100ish quid left over? Something like this.

Memory mate. I would just go for somthing a lot cheaper as the extra mhz you wouldn't notice it. With the money you save from that, you could get an ssd. Also, get rid of the blue ray drive, get the samsung blue ray read only as it burns dvd's still but not blueray. Blueray discs are very exspensive so no point :D You could just get 1tb and get the ssd.

Also, you are going to need some fans in that case. 3 120mm's up top. You can do push and pull on the h50 which would be very efficent and replace the 2 140mm fans as they just fail...

Other than that mate, similar build to mine.
 
at that budget id advise an SSD check out the intel X-25's they are very
this is if you cut down on memory as other s will do just as well
 
Yes, the graphic card is brilliant, and a good price too. I try to look for 1 HDD's with 2TB and have 2 x SSD's in RAID0. As for DVDBlu Ray, I might change that to read only. And for memory is 1600Mhz or 1800Mhz is that important ? The budget bit tight ! I thought 2 x 140mm on Corsair case is very good ? Why failed ?
 
If you do you'll see about 30% increase in fps I'd say! If you keep the expensive case and ram you'll lose that 30% and have no obvious benefits - Dominator GT - like all flag ship ram, it is not worth it and what's a £210 case going to do that a £110 case won't?

This is speaking from experience!
