IMO the gfx card isnt worth an extra 20 quid for a few more MHz, this mobo uses the newer 890 chipset, still does xfire at x8/x8 and has SATA 6Gb/s and improved Southbridge, either go for this RAM or just get the Corsair XMS3, but this has tighter timings (7 vs 9)

95th's recommendations are spot-on. If you really want an overclocked card, do it yourself as pre-overclocked cards are rarely much of an improvement.

Also, couldn't consider myself to be helping if I didn't ask- what are you using it for? If it's gaming, have you considered the i5 over the X6?
