Overclocking: Yes - from what i've read, technology improvements over the past few years has reduced the amount of risk in overclocking and great returns can be made by overclocking...?
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, depending on the build recommended? SLI or CrossFire? Whatever would assist in sustaining a high threshold of FPS in any game environment.
I dont know if internet connection matters, but i'm on a 100MPS plan (i know you dont get to 100MPS, but it's definitely faster than ADSL2 etc).

Additional Comments:
Hi All,
It would be brilliant if i could get some honest and constructive feedback on a very efficient and future proofed gaming build.
Ideally, i'm looking for bang for buck (components which, when all working together, make a solid rig and shouldn't require much upgrading over the next 2-3 years)
Ultimately, i will be guided by your feedback, the experts - As I've neglected keeping myself informed and not been in the loop with the lastest technology advancements made over the last few years (i.e. sandy motherboards etc.) as a result, I'm not completely aware of the true potential each item can offer to improve performance.
Reading into the forums, i can see there is definitely much more scope and expertise within this community than i could ever hold to attain, which is priceless.
All feedback will be considered (not ignored), i can imagine how frustrating it is when your feedback is provided, but not acknowledged.
Preferably, i don't want this post to be a troll fest, but more of a discussion which ultimately fleshes out the most efficient performing PC for the money. I'd hope it would be something you would be proud of to buy/build if you, yourself were buying the PC.
Sorry if i come across as another ignorant gamer, but i felt as though the experience here was far more superior and vast to my own, which would be injustice when looking to make an informed and well balanced decision to help see my money go further (not go to waste).
If you have any further questions, I'd be delighted to answer them.
Cheers
Paul
