I will be using the PC to do alot of video editing, however i do have the core i7 already along with the ram and HDD's. I think that motherboard is good for my needs (also herd it does sli with bious update - not really too bothered about that anyway) Psu can be a corsair or antec and im sticking with the case antec 900 I need quality and reliability... i am open to suggestions if you want to reccomed other hardware.Scan.co.uk is what I use.

What are you going to be using the PC for? Unless you are going to be running CPU intensive tasks, I would recommend downgrading the i7 to a phenom 940 and an am3 motherboard, saving yourself around I think £150. As the i7 performs similar to the 940 in games, jsut better in apps, but it doesnt justify it's price. The phenom 940 or 945 are the best price/performance quad core at the moment in my opinion. It's up to you, if you want to have the latest and the best and have the money to spend on it, get the i7, if you just want a good PC and don't want to spend extra to get a bit more performance get the 940 or 945.
