Would you change anything and why from the build I have in mind?

Looks great but get rid of that 16gb ram, you won't ever need it! 8gb is more than enough to be perfectly honest and you will save a bit of money I would put towards an SSD like the Crucual M4 dude.
 
If you can afford a little more, a modular PSU may be of benefit, also with the cost of that 570 youre not far off 580 territory, I'd swap the HDD for either the black version or a Seagate
You may be able to save a little bit by scaling back the mobo, do you need all the features of the pro?
 
I am looking into a ssd but will purchace one in a few months,
Will also look into changing the HDD to the black.
The 16gb is chosen because I don't want to be in a situation like I don't have enough memory to run heavy programmes such as photoshop, video editing also.
(the build is mainly for gaming)
The evga 580's are too expensive. (evga mainly because of its warranty, Customer service, reviews and performance)
I actually thought the psu was modular, guess not.
The. Motherboard simply because I will be adding stuff in the future and this is the best in its range I believe.

Thanks for the input so far guys.
 
id get this tbh?

580 beating performance? ok ssd in there too..

Very interesting,
But with the cards only being 1gb, will this not restrict the performance on games such as BF3? Simply because that will be very demanding, i will read the in depth review later,
Before I read the specs and review, how doesvthe 560ti on sli perform against a single 570?
 
Well thank you mate, I will Definitely have a read of that.
The motherboard you selected, will that be good for the specs selected?
 
as I said in the other thread daneweasly speced the same mb(are msi paying you? ;) ) z68 chipset mb rather than p67, the 2 sub £100 that oc do are the gigabyte ones z68ap-d3(no sli/xfire, says xfire ready but its x16/x4) or z68xp-ud3(sli/xfire x8/x8).
