Spec me my first self-build

So I'm going to order today and was hoping someone would give this a final check over.

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £161.99

Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
£131.99

£124.98

Antec TruePower New Modular 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £84.98

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) £79.99

BitFenix Shinobi Gaming Case - Black
£49.99

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31000524AS)
£39.98

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9)
£27.98


I put the 750W PSU in in anticipation of maybe crossfire-ing in the future, but I might still knock it down to the 550W as I'm not sure I'll actually do it.

Also, as the Gigabyte 560tiOC is on offer today as well as the HD6870, are there any huge advantages that warrant the extra £50?
 
Nice, I'll switch out the PSU.

I'm thinking for the sake of saving £50 the 6870 might be better for me, unless someone can tempt me otherwise.

Anyone else care to comment?
