Hi and Welcome!

Looks good :)

The Matterhorn above is great for the price though.

I'd also consider an SSD if you can afford one (I'd not get one smaller than 128GB though)
 
yea that's true, 64 gb is strictly for os + 1/2 apps,
but depending on ur budget if you can get the 128gb, u shld
128gb is the sweetspot at the moment though
 
thanks guys i changed the cooler but cant get os coz i only got £1000 buget and im just over and i whant the tb hdd will get a ssd later when i can get one

OEM CPU is cheaper. Shorter warranty and no stock heatsink (you dont need one anyway). I included the OS but you could use the developers copy of windows 8 for now (its free and legal). Then choose between buying 7 or 8 once the later is released.

If you drop the OS you could easily get a 120GB SSD in the spec

SSD suggestion
 
ok update
i thnk ill go for this.

My PSU is modular. The mobo is from GB who have a UK based 3 year warranty. The XMS3 RAM is technically better than the Geil RAM, my mobo and RAM bundle aren't any more expensive than your choice and it's still xfire/SLI capable.

If you want that 7850 fair enough. 7850s are good overclockers so personally I'd go with the cheaper GPU and overclock that. Seeing as stock GPU speeds is a mute point pretty much.

It's your build though bud, your rules :)

Watch that bud, any questions you know where to find us.

Top tip now, the Z9 case comes with the power button disconnected. Also only connect the SSD initially, set the sata options in the BIOS to ACHI. Install the OS to the SSD then you can connect up your storage HDD afterwards :)

Did you not like the look of the coolermaster modular PSU? I have used the 600W unit a few times, it's very quiet and they come with rubber strips to dampen vibration. I used the 700W as Xfire seems to be on your mind with the mobo choice.

Oh and your DVD drive is slower than mine. Being retail you should get a sata cable with it, mine was OEM so wont have the cable. You could buy a cheap sata cable with my optical drive and it shouldnt work out anymore to get the faster drive ;) Mobos are getting stingy on giving out sata cables, you often only get 2 in the box, as you have an optical and two hardrives you will need 3
