CPU is a no brainer £148.20 cheapest ive seen online so far

MOBO £90.40 not 100% about this board since it will may need a bios update to run the CPU catch 22

RAM not the fastest but with 2 of these packs = 32 gig of pure beauty for AMD ram drive at £159.98

HDD 128 gig SSD only for OS drive i will use my existing drives out of my current PC for the usual junk wink wink £91.99

PSU This was chosen due to its price and low noise £85.14

Cooler Hydro H100i 94.87 ive had water coolers before and wasnt impressed but ive seen a few youtube vids about this one

Case £64.28 not 100% sure if the CPU cooler radiator will fit perfectly in here if not i will have to mount it externally ive sacrificed on the case to keep the specs high

with the budget of £750 all this should leave me with £15 just enough to order take away while i build it :)

I think I would go with these...
CPU - http://goo.gl/5qj4f (Intel i5 3570k, of course)
MB - http://goo.gl/NofZY (MSI Z77A-GD55)
RAM - http://goo.gl/P3Ubd (16GB (2x8GB) G.SKILL RipjawsX 1866MHz CL10)
HDD - http://goo.gl/wSSgI + http://goo.gl/icGbY (Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 + OCZ Vertex 4 128GB)
PSU - http://goo.gl/X1Gsh (Corsair Builder Series 600CX 80PLUS)
Cooler - http://goo.gl/UiDhP (Noctua NH-U12P SE2)
Case - http://goo.gl/ybCAc (Cooler Master CM Storm Stryker White)

Final price: £736.36

P.S. I would DEFINITELY add a dedicated sound card to such a build. In this case, I would pick a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio or a Xonar DG. I own a Xonar DS myself and it's not worth the price difference unless you're gonna be using a 7.1 audio device with it or at least upgrade the Op amp.
 
This would be my build :)
