    Ok so after hardwareversand turning out to not be worth the hassle for me at least anyway i decided to purchase off of overclockers.co.uk as it didn't appear to be much more expensive. Let me know what you guys think :).

    Here are the specs:

    Case: Thermaltake Level 10 GT Visionary Full Tower Case - Black

    CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz Quad Core Processor

    Overclock: Stage 5: MAX OC OF ENTIRE SYSTEM - (CPU, RAM Graphics all OCd to maximum 24/7 Stability)

    CPU Cooler: Akasa Venom CPU Cooler

    Motherboard: Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Intel Z68

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz C8 Memory Kit

    GPU: OcUK GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5

    GPU 2(SLI): OcUK GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5

    HARD DRIVE:Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache

    BLU-RAY/DVD DRIVE: LG BH10LS30 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Drive

    Power Supply: Corsair Pro Gold AX1200W

    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

    Network Adapter: TP Link 300Mbps Wireless-N USB Adapter

    Fully Cable Managed.

    Bought using this configurator: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/syscon_int.php?prodid=FS-282-OK

    This system is gonna be overclocked to maximum stability so it's gonna be even more of a beast.

    I do intend to pick up an ssd in the future however at the moment i don't feel the need for one.

    Let me know what you guys think :).

    I'd add the SSD now, as reinstalling windows from scratch is a bit of a hassle. Apart from that it looks good. Total overkill, but I'm sure you knew that already ;)

    Yeah pretty crazy that you don't have an ssd in there! Both the gfx cards are out of stock on the configurator btw.

    Yeah definitely overkill however i wanna max everything at comfortable frame rates i know one card would do it but still i don't wanna change cards for at least another 2 years.

    The cpu and the motherboard and pretty much everything else will last me for quite some time and also i already ordered the pc.

    And tbh i barely had enough for this as it is.

    I have been saving for this pc for a year so i will just put windows on the ssd when i get it i can deal with the hassle when the time comes.

    Im sure i will survive without the ssd for a few months :D.

    Yeah im aware the cards are out of stock but i ordered anyway as i can wait for them to get the cards back in im sure they will get them in soon.

    About the ssd i barely had enough for this build as it is and i prefer more storage so in a few months i will purchase the ssd and just re install windows on it.

    At the moment the 7200rpm hard drive should give me good speed in games so i will survive without the ssd until i can afford it :).
