Well its been three and a half years since my last major upgrade (see my sig). Not too sure on whats hot and whats not these days, how does the below look?

Your basket

CP-397-IN_60.jpg
Intel Core i7-2700K 3.50GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM **BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL DEAL***(£208.29) £249.95
MB-493-AS_60.jpg
Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard (£120.82) £144.98
MY-295-CS_60.jpg
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8) (£44.99) £53.99

I have a 750w PSU already. Want to stay under £500, to me the above looks like it will give me a few years solid service...

What cpu cooler are you looking at using as it may inter fear with the memory heat spreaders.
 
Antec Kúhler H2O

I have a Freezer Pro 7 which I was hoping to use for now, then at Xmas get one of the Antec Kúhler H2O's. The Pro 7's lower fins have already been modified to clear the P5D's cooling fins.
