Thought id just put the build up that im close to settling on to see if the community could suggest any changes or ideas that might be better suited to the budget. Nvidia cards are my much preferred choice, with the 670 having been chosen due to quite a tempting price/performance.

Link to the build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Frenz0rz/saved/#savedbuild_556513

Key stuff:
CPU - 4670k
Mobo - Asus Z87-A
GPU - Windforce x3 GTX 670
RAM - 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport (Yeah i know 16gb is overkill but meh)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2TB
SSD - Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB
PSU - Corsair TX650

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
