Looks nice, a little unbalanced though... Whats it going to be used for? Also I hope you included the silver warranty for only £5?!

I'm a full time film editor, editing on Avid Media Compoer v5 - so it's deliberately processor and RAM heavy. I don't require a very exciting GPU, but the six cores in the i7-970, rather than the four in the Sandy Bridge and the quick RAM will make fast work of all the 1s and 0scrunching I have to do. Ideally I'd have stuck an SSD in there too to run the OS and my software from, but I was already over budget.

PS - I did include the silver warranty and also the next step up on the processor coolant.

Ah fair enough then all makes sense now
