If you are just gaming you could get the 2500k and save some money. Or if you aren't planning on overclocking really then you could get the 2600, still get the benefit of hyper threading but no unlocked multi. The rest looks solid though.

+1 for the 2500k if your just gaming and doing some basic stuff, also I wouldn't bother with that gtx 560, go for the OC edition save yourself about £30 for something thats probably not really that much slower

Other than that, looks like a very solid build there Sir, although I'm not entirely sure how the pcie lanes split on that board, unless you want to sli or crossfire in the future might be a good idea to get something like the ud3 p67 b3 instead and save yourself another £70 also an nh-d14 for sandy bridge is complete overkill, I'd suggest either the thermaltake frio or gelid tranquillo, and with all that money you save you can either save it, or buy a gtx 570

Dont buy 2x GFX Cards buy one way more powerful, and then later on upgrade.

About your peripherals, get a Mechanical Keyboard : http://www.overclock.net/keyboards/491752-mechanical-keyboard-guide.html

I would get a logitech mouse, something like the G500.

The UD4 would be great to learn overclocking on. SB clocks just so simple. I'd stick with you list all the way but the graphics.. I'd get 1 heck of a card instead of 2 "lower-end".

Sure 2 cards is always cool and it looks good, but think this way: In 6 months or more, you'll probably regret, knowing you could've bought ex. a 580 and just popped another one in and called yourself awesome for 6 more months.

Don't worry about the mouse, if it feels good, keep it! A mouse is probably the most "personal". Just because someone else says another mouse is awesome, you might not think that.

more of the same really mate, 2500k could save a couple of quid if you only a gamer, 2600 k kills in stuff that can use the cores but whats the point if nothing loads them right? then again its better to have and not need than need and not have.

sli 560? maybe but tbh i would get a 570 now and add another later if i needed it.

i would say for an overclocked sli system 750w is about the bare min and would look for something with more power tbh. if you drop 1 card and get the 570 instead you could shift the cash to a bigger psu now and this would give you the option of a second later.

2 places i always try to overspec are cooling and the psu, you never have problems from having too much power on tap or from running too cool.
