just been going through the components, have made a few changes, like the 920 with the D0 stepping, the RAM from Corsair Dom.

just need some advice on the PSU, i have no idea what provides the best for my money, you might be thinking that money is no object, but it is, im trying to not go over £2k, dont mind delivery etc, im also wanting to add a monitor to that list, something that will get the most out of the 4870 X2, if nothing can be found for the right price im happy to take a hit on the graphics as i cant afford the space for a 30" monitor.

will be used for gaming, HD video encoding and photo editing.

changed the case as i felt there was no need for a window without watercooling, added the OS, Monitor, took on the PSU mentioned above, added a BluRay drive, kept the CPU cooler after reading good reviews about it.
