Hey Iv pretty much finalized everything for my new system build and was just wanting opinions on the design before i go ahead and buy everything please!
The Main use of the system will primarily be video Editing/Rendering HD files in CS5's Premiere and After-effects and some other editing programs, Minor gaming and general surfing.

MoBo: Asus P8Z68-V-Pro/Gen3

GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "Phantom" 3072MB
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-144-GW

http://www.dabs.com/products/corsai...l?refs=56350000-41580000-52750000-50113&src=3

HDD: I Already have a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm for other files and what not

PSU: CoolerMaster GX 650W 80+ Bronze (Not too sure on PSU's will this one be alright??)
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w...-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx-v

Iv got two 21.5" Monitors that give a resolution of 1920x1080 so go there.

I still havent picked a case any suggestions would be great but hopefully not to expensive im very close to budget looking for ~£70

Dont need an OS, Mouse or Keyboard

Any advice/recommendations would be great! If there is anything iv missed please let me know!!
Thanks very much Graeme

Nice system! If i was you though i would go with this Psu: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies+-+PSUs/Non-Modular+650W+or+less/650W+Corsair+TX650+V2+80PLUS+Bronze+Power+Supply+?productId=43905

Surely you can find a better psu.

Get something at least 80+ Bronze rated, preferrably Antec, Corsair, or XFX.

^+1, Something like the one I've suggested.

Thanks for all the info ill look into the new Chipset MoBo's!!
but as for the GTX680 i'm not going to bother its to expensive for my pocket, another £100 and its 1GB less than the GTX580 im going to get !

For video editing you could definitely use 16GB RAM.
