Hi, yes, sorry,

This came in at about £2200
I will be gaming on it as and when the missus is not about and i have media players and a few hdd's external and internal for hot swap, as i do alot of downloading (movies, tv series, and music) and am constanly transfers file between my hdd's and media players.

prob being a little greedy on it, but i'm sure i'll be told
cheers

Looks good for what you want to do,
personally I would forget about overclocking and the 1866MHz RAM,
8GB 1333MHz would suffice,
Overclocking and using 1866MHz ram would give you very little performance gain,if any,
and could cause stability issues.

This spec will perform even better for a Lower price

This is pretty much an Enthusiast top of the range Gaming rig And it will last you for Ages!
