i7 920,

get a single 4890 for now since they only cost £130 and then get a couple of 5870's later.

Get a good 850w, from Corsair, Antec, PCP&C, OCZ or Seasonic.

Any mobo which has an X58 chipset and uses the ATX form factor, go as cheap as possible on this because the more expensive boards have little advantage.

and for a site to buy the stuff from, scan.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk are the best.

hey obsi its for my son whose going to be 16 soon and i am not going to overclock it atm i will let him do what he wants thanks for your help would a normal fan work as a cooler or shall i get a better one? if so any suggestion pelase
 
it comes with a fan but its not reccomended for overclocking maybe jus a marginal
overclock of 5% -6% but your chioce the case you got is a great cool case but your choice to get an after market fan will be a bit better but not needed
