It comes to a total of roughly £1870. I know I haven't included a HDD, since I currently have a few lying around which I will be using.
Please leave your suggestions below! Much appreciated.
 
You certainly don't need the H100. Drop that to a £30 A70.

A 750W PSU would be more than enough. Here's another £80 off your budget, £120 for a Silverstone 80+ Gold: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139016

Do you really think you're going to fill up a 128gb SSD without all your HDD data (music, photos, hiberfile, pagefile, libraries)? If the answer is yes, go ahead; it's your money. If you were to go with a 128gb SSD, though, YOU COULD GO 580s!

The 580s would entail a £130 Silverstone 850W 80+ Gold. The savings on this and your original HSF put you up £110. This and the £140 difference between the SSDs gives you £250 extra. You only need £180 of this to upgrade those 6970s to MSI Twin Frozr 580s, and all of a sudden you have one of the best rigs that money can buy.

Actually, I've been doing some 580 stuff in the last couple of days, and I've concluded that it's worth getting more than 850W, especially if you're going to be giving it heavy use. PSUs lose some capacity as they age, and it'll be nice to have this work 5 years from now. I now recommend a Silverstone 80+ Silver 1000W, as there's not really much good stuff between 850 and 1000W.
