Will try OC to CPU to 4.4GHz as this looks like an 'easy' OC but if members think that's a bad idea will change to...

£134.15 Intel Core i5 3570, Retail
£058.77 Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
£145.78 2GB XFX Radeon HD 7870 Double Dissipation Edition
£066.12 128GB Samsung 830
£024.80 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black Low Profile

£107.35 VAT

So I guess you could say I'm asking two questions :)
1. Would you recommend any different parts
2. Is the 4.4GHz OC achievable and worth the extra £50

Thanks.

No gurus set my mind at rest?

Don't want another recurrence of a few years when I bought a new rig and PSU had wrong connectors, Doh!

Cheers.
 
Getting a 4.4 OC is part of the CPU lottery - think you have a reasonable shot. I got 4.4 stable with an Evo as well but backed it off since there doesn't seem to be a need for 4.4 at present.

Think that looks like a very reasonable system.
