    Any reason you're not going for Ivy Bridge? Probably not worth it for PCIe 3.0 but just thought I'd throw that in there.

    Only reason being that with the money I save I can afford speakers and a wireless adapter. I'm thinking I'd have to up the PSU to 650W for Crossfiring later on?

    Think so yes. That build will run on a 450w though, so get that instead of the 550w to save money for now.

    For the extra 20/30 quid would you not just get a suitable power supply now? Save you buying another one in a few months.
