How many gfx cards will you be running?

Cooling for the CPU?

atm just a 780ti but in 1 month i will be getting 2 x 980ti

and a 360 ek predator when they come out.

1000W PSU will be fine for that.

only about a £10 saving? surely worth getting a 1300w ?

You don't need 1300W for 2 x 980 ti's. The EVGA G2 is virtually the same psu (Made by SuperFlower and based on the Leadex), but with a better warranty (10 years).

You could also go with the i7 5820K to save a bit more money if you are only running 2 way SLI.

thanks for the reply , ideally i would like to base the system around a 5930.

also is 32gb ram overkill?

For gaming yes.

For overclocking most certainly.

It also happens to very stable at stock speeds and there's a ton of BIOSes for it as the pro's constantly work with it.
