I would be really grateful if someone could quickly look over the (hopefully) final draft of my build. I am aware that the PSU is overkill in terms of wattage, but I was told that spending the £20 or so extra on a 750W part would increase it's longevity as it has less strain put on it, which I guess is worth it.

Thanks for your help!

If you're getting the 4670, then you don't need either the CPU cooler or the Z87 mobo. I'd recommend getting a i5 4690 (due to better thermals. Better thermals=no need for aftermarket cooler) and a H97 motherboard. You might want to get a PSU with less wattage. I run a similar system with a Seasonic 620W just fine. The rest seems to be fine.
P.S. Nice GPU :p 

Happy building :)

Its a good build however, it is going to be hassle getting enough current flowing to everything if your going to get a multi 12V rail PSU. I would suggest getting a single rail PSU and be done with it. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g2...

Thanks for your reply!

There aren't many choices for a H97 motherboard on pcpartpicker, can you suggest one?
