Quick bump. So ended up also getting a Gigabyte R9 290 OC 4GB Windforce and my god, this thing is amazing!
Only got a few small issues which are being worked on. The motherboard has a software issue which Gigabyte have been excellent about.
However, the USB 3.0 ports on the front work intermittently, like there is a loose connection and the power LED refuses to work (verified by switching the HDD led and power around and the fault remained with the LED). I also had a issue with a poorly threaded screw that is used for the Corsair H105 cooler however, after raising tickets about both items, they refuse to reply.. And there was me buying Corsair because of the amazing service.
Does anyone know where they reply to tickets? I've checked on the page I posted them and I can't see nothing obvious regarding a reply.
Also, is there a rep on this forum? Corsair stated 48 hours and its exceeded that.
Cheers for any advice given in regards to any of the above.
Pics will come eventually!

I would deal with ocuk instead 
There is a Corsair rep who posts on here. Not sure how frequently though.

So admittedly a long time after my initial post but a update as I finally promised.
First thing first, here is the build as it stands. It's not going to change much bar possibly some very dim LED's but I like the way the Corsair logo stands out among general darkness. It normally has the panel on and looks nice and black with dark red. SSD might be hidden soon.
The keyboard looks odd on my leather desk but hey ho, I can't really do much about that unless Corsair start selling Black Metal fascias.
With regards to the issues I had, I e-mailed Greybeard as suggested by Lee and his service has been excellent. I've already got the screws for the cooler and waiting for the front panel due to a stock shortage but I've been updated about that and it's all looking positive. Honestly can not thank the guy enough, replies really quickly and has taken to it personally to make sure everything I need is sorted and is generally a really nice guy to deal with.
I will update with the final build whenever I get a chance but for the meantime, this is the specs as it stands.
Case: Corsair 750d
CPU: 4790k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3
Ram: Corsair 16GB Venegence I think
Graphics: Gigabyte R9 290 OC Windforce 4GB
CPU Cooler: Corsair H105i
PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750w
Storage: Samsung Evo 850 and 1TB drive I got cheap
Keyboard: Corsair K60
Mouse: Corsair M40
Headphones: Corsair Hs30 I think
Monitor: Random Samsung one
Blimey, I should become Corsair sponsored!
