I wouldnt be sure about it working now but I tend to stay away from AMD, also, unless your going video editing you don't really need 16GB of RAM. As i have just learned, the GTX460 is a better card than the 550Ti
 
No it wont,

The motherboard doesnt support SLI, only the expensive 99* series boards do.

The PSU isnt to be trusted, never skimp on the PSU.

GTX460 1GB cards are faster than 550ti's

AH! TBH im after a high spec gaming PC that can handle anything thrown at it with ease.
 
Don't bother:

i5-2500k
HD6950
16GB not needed... 8gb is more than enough
corsair builder series 600X

Sli will cause you problems in the long run with increased heat in your system, micro stutters, bigger power comsumption.. drivers...

8 core not needed.. bulldozer is a server chip basically, not a gamers chip

the i5 is faster and cheaper

The board supports SLI/Crossfire, the PSU is good enough too.

With the Corsair A50 a easy 4.5GHZ should be achievable.

good spec!

but save a few quid and get the OEM i5, no need for the stock cooler and get a normal 560ti and clock it to 900mhz very easily using msi afterburner...
 
Theres only a £5 difference, got to be worth the 3 year warranty, shiny box and the stock cooler that can all be sold together later?
 
If you dont care for SLI,Crossfire,

The 7870 is due mid march, priced at around £270± so substitute it in place of the 6970,

This is exactly why id always buy a retail version over an OEM. The i5 2500K is very cheap right now and it would be stupid not to pick one up!
