Hello guys, i'm about to build new pc for myself. I'll be going with AMD system, at this moment i'll be getting GX motherboard and after few months will add ATI 5xxx video, i'm not big gamer, but will be playing D3 and SC2 when they'll be released.
I'll be overclocking my system as far as i'll be able to push it.

At the moment total is 593£ just need to decide on case.

So this is my build, in feature maybe i'll be CF, and if my OCZ ram will be good for this build (maybe i should go with 1333mhz? ).

Thanks guys.

Hello and welcome to the forums :) 
Looks pretty good too me,for RAM keep it IMO since the difference between 1066 and 1333 isn't much and the timings for 1333MHZ RAMs are mostly higher than 1066 ones

Welcome to "TEH FORUMS"

Nice build, However I Suggest you get a 750w for your system because if your going to be crossfiring 650 might be cutting it close, especially for a 5 series card.

Corsair Tx750 is a safe bet.

I Currently have a storm sniper case and i love it!, I also have a scout for my second phenom II system, thats also good and not too big, so its quite portable.

try the thermalright ultra 120 for the air cooler :) 
stick with 1600 its probably the best ddr3 choice for ddr3 right now.
and change your monitor to at least a resolution of 1920x1080, because since your crossfiring in the future you'll want to at least have that resolution or your 2 cards won't be performing at 100%.
