Get a 3x2GB kit of memory, it will give you better bandwidth since the i7 9xx's support triple channel memory.

Get a good 750W power supply from Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, or XFX, it will be more than enough to handle 2 6870s, like the Corsair 750TX or the XFX 750W unit.

The monitor will likely come with a DVI cable so you shouldnt need to buy an extra one.

The monitor doesn't come with a DVI cable, I checked. I had been going to get a a Corsair 750W, but they were out of stock and I plan to run another graphics card in Crossfire. I would also be adding some more RAM and another harddrive in the near future (ie. in 6-12 months).

Those two will work fine together, the i7 9xx series are the only ones that us the X58 chipset so all the quad core i7 9xx's will work just fine with any X58 board.

I cant find many details about the OcUK PSUs so im unsure of their quality or true power outputs.
