Seems like a really solid system but the PSU scares me. I've never even heard of them. I don't see them on Tom's list anywhere (did I miss them):

I'm not sure about prices in the UK, but if you can pick up an XFX Core Edition 750W or Seasonic 750W, I'd say do it.

You don't want to put all of those good components on bad power. I don't mean to judge something I don't know, but I've never heard of that PSU. I can't find one professional review on it?

Also, if your plan is to put the OS on the 60GB SSD, you'll find that space will quickly get consumed. I'd look for a 120GB or 128GB for an OS drive.

Trust me... You'll need a bigger SSD if you're going to keep an OS and a game on it. I started with a 40GB SSD and within no time, just Windows updates, drivers, system utilities, and virtual memory consumed 38GB. I upgraded due to space to 80GB and then 120GB and I'm currently close to the 80GB mark on my SSD now a few years later. Windows and system utilities will eat your space. I would say get at least an 80GB if you don't want to go 120GB.

That power supply is not that good. It only offers 580W (that's only going by Amps*Volts on 2x20A 12V rails, it may be worse) of its 750W on the 12V rail and doesn't list a total wattage available on the 12V rails combined. Not good. It's enough for a single PSU, but if you can do anything to even get into a Corsair CX-series PSU it would be better.

Windows 7 is usually around 40~50GB in total (at least I think with all the updates).
