If you don't plan on adding a second graphics card this PSU will save you £20:

Antec High Current Gamer 620W Power Supply £49.99


Double the size HDD for £11 more:

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM £43.99


Cheaper RAM and will cause less issues with big CPU coolers:

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit £33.59


Just so you know the Twin Frozr III 6950 does not unlock to a 6970.

This Week Only offers end tomorrow morning so you need to order tonight, or very early tomorrow, to take advantage of the current prices.

And even if you keep the current PSU, you will still need to upgrade PSU again for crossfire or SLI. As your current PSU only comes with 2 pci-e. (one with additional 2 pin) Although you can get round this using adaptors..

OEM tends to mean it doesn't come in retail packaging (shiny pointless box) aand could potentially have a lesser warranty.

Apart from that OEM = better value (Mostly).

Edit: Thought I'd put a Corsair PSU in! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-011-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084
 
TX750 is good. Will be able to XFire the 6950's later (4 x 8 pin connectors, plenty of power).

Not a fan of unlockable 6950's, but I seem to be the minority.

The H50 is OK, but depending on how much overclock you want, you can get away with cheaper air coolers. The H50 won't be that silent.

4GB is plenty, 8GB is a bit overkill, but for £66, that's what I'd go for, 'personally'. :D Also means you won't need memory paging on the SSD (or HD), which is always a bonus :)

It would be a shame with that hardware. Do get a 2500K / 2600K CPU, even if not planning on overclocking now. IMO, there is little point getting a 2600. If you get a 2500 / 2600, it's for performance, and overclocking the 2500K / 2600K is easy as pie and brings nice boost for 'free' later.

They had a 2500K in there before.

Don't think feature-wise they are different. Look up reviews, but imo there won't be much in it. Gigabyte is always a good buy. Stulid has the Asrock, which is a very well reviewed board as well. Gigabyte looks cool in all black, and has plenty of VRM power for overclocking. The Asrock has UEFI Bios (new funky graphical bios), Gigabyte has it's own TouchBios version (is it the same thing? Think it's available within the operating system, but not at boot).

hmmm Asrock support Lucid Virtu and quicksync, not sure about the gigabyte.
