(I have a SSD and a couple of storage drives that i will switch over to this build.)

Am I missing anything? should I change out anything? Going to be purchasing today so wanted to double check with you guys to see if everything is good.
 
The PSU is out of stock? unless I am looking at another corsair? what about the OCZ Z-Series 850W I have one in my new system and seems a good unit. It is also gold rated so will save you a little on electricity bill too.

If you plan on overclocking (which the k chip is designed for) then I would get an after market cooler. With one of these the vengeance might not fit under the heatsink so how about some HyperX Genesis which is slightly slower timings at £41.99 or some XMS3 at £49.99?

With it being out of stock I was going to purchase elsewhere.

And the H100 is a after market cooler which should do the job of OC'ing.
 
take it you went for the corsair h100 cooler over the antec kuhler /corsair h80 dual to the dual fan config ?

do you plan to sli the 570, if not then 650/750 will be fine.

Haven't really looked into the coolers a huge amount so I was just looking at the series numbers in all honesty. I don't plan on putting the 570 in SLi just reading around and the 570 seems to be the best bang for buck and should be good for BF3.
