What are your plans with the PC.

Get the 670 :) . It is cheaper by $100 and will perform 5% slower which is about 1-2 fps than the 680.

Get a cheaper motherboard. Get the Asrock Extreme6 which comes with free 8gb ram at newegg.

Get Samsung 840(currently best) or Plextor M5S ( value for money)

If gaming, just get i5-3570k.

Firstly I'd like to thank you for your input and reply, very logical and explanitory.

he system will be used for a mixture of personal life and professional life. both gaming and video editing/rendering. I'm trying to build as bigger system as possible, as i've came into some money, which might not be there for future upgrades, so although its a cliche, futureproofing is essential. I'm also in the UK, so I cant use Newegg I believe.
