Hey Tonux, you know I've looked over this before, but I've just thought of one other thing you will need to add onto your list, cooling. That is like, a major thing you'll need to look up.

Hello and welcome. Yes it will all fit together.

Personally, the changes that I'd make would be:
change processor to:

add this heatsink:

change the hard drive to this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-057-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=768

change the PSU to this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-148-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1103

but that's out of stock, so either ask them when it's in and wait, or go for this:

I would ditch the Blood Iron mobo. It's very overpriced for what is basically DFI's low end board. The UT P45 T2RS is only an extra tenner and is their top end P45 board. In fact that's a damn good price as it's usually £160-170!!!

pastymuncher, I was looking of getting the same mobo, just because it has so much room for expansion. Would it be not such a great idea?
