Ok I'm going with this build after all mainly because

1. Has the game I want included
2. Saves me money
3. People say BF3 runs still good on 6950 2gb at high.
4. I wanted a good lookin' case

That is a cracking build. Would be very hard to do any better at all. The only things I would have a hard time deciding on would be the GPU. Out of the 6950, 6970 and GTX 570, they each have something going for them. The 570 seems to do really well in BF3, but the 6970 performs better in many games and has more vram (which would be handy if you do go Crossfire). The 6950 however is probably the best deal out of the three in terms of bang for buck. You are basically getting the card for ~£175 when you factor in how much the games are worth. Plus it should handle BF3 fine if you tone down MSAA. Should still run at Ultra at around 40fps average, plus like the 6970 it has the extra memory.

Good build all round though...
