Spec check please before ordering!

Already bought a Silverstone Fortress FT01 case and don't need monitor, keyboard, mouse or OS. How does the below spec look and is there anyway I can improve it?

1. Another/additional GFX card
2. i7
3. More RAM
4. SSD
5. Blu-Ray
6. Water-cooling

Of course there are ways you can improve it, everything can always be improved.

You haven't stated a budget or what you'll be using it for though.

Someone told me that that particular RAM cant be installed right next to each other. I might be wrong, though.

If you have alternatin RAM slots you'll be alright, but you mightr have trouble getting them to sit next to each other.

looks good but PSU is a bit overkill unless ur considering goin CF?

everything else looks good i would recomment the pioneer DVD drive its really quiet

This, if not going X-fire i would consider the BeQuiet 650 Version to save a few bucks mate

Thanks for the advice chaps. I would get the BeQuiet 650W but no stock at the moment so decided to get the 750W. Always better to have a bit extra than not enough (or so the missus says

). Also changed the Ram to this so I know they can go next to each other.

Any other problems you can see before I order?

Cheers
