Everything seems fine.
Might want someone to comment on the GPU though...Hmmm still thinking about that one.
What about an 80GB SSD and 1Tb HD? (1Tb HD is ten pounds price as the 500gb anyway)
 
I've heard some bad things about the Blaze mouse.

Akasa Apache fans are much better and the same price at the moment.
 
Great spec - just a few minor tweaks would make it better however.

1) Switch the fans to Apaches
2) Unless you are planning on crossfiring later down the road - downgrade your PSU to something along the lines of 600-700 W
3) With such a sexy spec you deserve to buy a proper gaming mouse
4) Drop the fan filter
5) Switch your RAM for the cheaper Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) > £41.99

1 - Will do
2 - I will Xfire later when price drops or gen 3 comes out
3 - The wireless mouse and keyboard is for the wife (ie moving my old rig to the front room - downgraded to face book machine)
4 - Was gonna uuse the 120 fan as an intake for the rear side panel (back of mobo to splash cool the ssd)
 
so shall i keep the filter or remove ?
