You kay
This is my spec which I intend to do mild overclocking to. (This is the first Pc i have ever owned, let alone built myself.)

I hear the MOBO has heat issues thus all the nice fans and the recomended NB heatsink. How ever it gives me no only SLi capabilitys in the future but also dual gigabit lan which unless im very much mistaken will be handy when I want to put my 360 through my Pc and keep it on XBL (Please correct me if im wrong)

So if i have gone really wrong somewhere please correct me or offer alternatives. Other than that will all the cables i need come with what im buying?
 
The corsair PSU's are very good and quiet. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-CS

For overclcoking don't use those crappy intel fans ;)

Behold the beast!!

This ram is better for overclocking, a lot :D, it will go way above the Giel PC6400

This is a nice case. I have no idea how it compares to the Coolmaster one, im sure someone can tell you here :)

The rest is good :)
 
Other than the changes recommended by Jaffa_Cake I'd change the DVDRW for a SATA version, NEC and Samsung do good models. All cables needed will come with the motherboard. :)
 
Thanks for the advice. For some reason i managed to miss the 'Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775)' that im including.

I've taken your advie on the PSU maily for costs, and because cosmeticly it wont be glowing blue.
(Going to have this thing in orange and black :D)

Thanks for pointing out the Sata DVD/RW, corrected to:
'Samsung SH-W183 18x18 DVD±RW Serial ATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM'

And for the same money reasons I decided to stick with the cheaper RAM. Like i say i've never OC anything in my life and I have nice plans to upgrade in about 6 months to 2 graphics gards in SLi, an extra Gig of RAM and depending on how its looking another HDD. Naturally i'll have to up my PSU too.

I'm really excited about getting this baby up and running, and the £1000 price tag is just right :D.
