Good choice of parts! I'm glad you changed to Gigibyte :p. I've heard some good things about the brand Noctua, for CPU cooling. Some people may disagree but...that's what I've heard :).

Do you mean this one http://pcpartpicker.com/uk/part/corsair-memory-cml16gx3m4a1600c9 this was my first choice and i just thought it would be better for dual ram.

Yep that's what I was on about. That's good RAM. If you can I'd go for it.

Noctua make good coolers and fans yes. I think the OP is using liquid cooling though.

All will work fine, but I still think you should drop the WD Caviar Green drive and go for the Seagate I was on about earlier. The Seagate is cheaper and faster.

I'm ordering it today :) i have decided to go with the cm storm stryker case and i am going to install green LEDs. The cheapest site I could find for a GTX 670 was novatech for £340, any cheaper on other sites?

It's better to order all the parts from one website, becuase then it all arrives on the same day and all together etc.

I'd spend £3 more and get this EVGA FTW card http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/.../nvidiagtx670keplerseries/02g-p4-2678-kr.html EVGA is my favourite brand for NVIDIA cards and they have great warranties. :good:

If you want to save a bit of money but still have an EVGA 670, then this would also be fine http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/.../nvidiagtx670keplerseries/02g-p4-2670-kr.html in true honesty, I doubt you could tell the difference between this and the FTW (which is overclocked), so I'd save £20 or so and get the stock card above.

Know anywhere else under the price range of £125 and can be delivered before or on the 22nd?
I had already seen OverClockers, sorry i didnt mention that. It was too expensive and should be cheaper I had heard.

Nope. :( Only Overclockers seem to have it.
