Thanks.

PS: I realise the Asus motherboard is a crossfire mobo and I have chosen an Nvidia card, but I have no intention of ever using SLI. Also I am hoping the latest revision of the P150 has issues sorted regarding the psu!!!!!!

I also want the system to be as quiet as possible.
 
I'm not going to comment on building the system, as frankly I don't know enough about AMD to spec a decent one, but I'd seriously consider changing the speakers if its meant for gaming. Fair enough if you wanted speakers with a small footprint, but I'd go with the 5.1 gigaworks setup rather than the 2.0.

To go with this I'd also get a dedicated sound card, rather than rely upon onboard sound. Something like the creative X-Fi Music would be good (Fatality one is just overpriced). I understand though that this advice really isn't that helpful if you have a strict £1,750 budget, just my thoughts though.

Oh, also the speakers may negate the quiet setup part of your design!
