I know you said SLi but the Crossfire motherboards have better chipsets and perform well if you add a second graphics card. I'm not keen on the case but it does include a fair bit of space.

thanks for the build semi-pro waster

is the Asus P5N-D nForce 750i SLi board any good? maybe that could be
another option to go for?

^^same asbove.
Could save a few pennies and get the 520W version.
Also yeah defo not the case the antec 300 is as good if not better and if you want the flashy lights but some LED's fans in the front. But remember your looking at the screen and not the case.
And spend an extra 6 quid for 320GB sammsung spinpoint.
Jobs a good'un!
