When building systems i've always been a board/chip/memory person first, my last system build was around 5-6 years ago cost about this money at the time, so I'm very out of practice. That system is starting to restart etc and its due an upgrade. Would it be better to look at an Intel i5 solution??? Cheers for looking!

The Kingwin psu isn't such a good choice...especially if your considering SLI later on. The reason that gtx 260 you chose is so cheap is because it's the old 192 processers vs the newer 216 gtx 260 cards. This mobo down below is set up for SLI / Crossfire. It comes with great o/c utilities...etc...
