Would be grateful for any comments/suggestions before I hit the Checkout button.

I went for a large PSU, because I have a large monitor and want to have the option of going crossfire at some point in the future.

Any comments much appreciated .

I would change the mobo to this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

The ram to something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-148-CS

I'd consider a better cpu cooler for overclocking as well.

As well, with that budget stick in a higher cooler like tuniq (over priced atm) and looking at the rest i would look else where for a cooler like the Xigmatek S1283 which is great price and with that i would get the "crossbow" bolt through kit as the push pin system isnt so great.
