Will all this jazz run on my 600w OCZ SXS PSU? It does have the 2x6pin... Sapphires site says that the minimum is a 500w, so I'm assuming yes... Will also be coupled with my 2x500Gb disks I currently have in my system right now.

I want the Raven. It looks awesome. I'm looking at selling a load of kit, then saving up £500..

Q6600, Asus Rampage Formula, 4Gb of OCZ Flex II, 4Gb of HyperX, PC7, 8800GTS 320Mb, I'm hoping to get about £350-ish for the lot.

I might ditch the ***, and go with the EVGA P55 LE, I can get it from the states for £90.. taking the box down to £693, thus meaning, I only have to save up 350 if I make the sale price on all my current kit.

The Corsair H50?

I noticed you have the Corsair H50 on your list, will this fit out of the box on the 1156 CPU, just curious?

Both the HD 5800 series cards are virtually identical from the outside - except for length. The HD 5850 ends up shorter - around 9.5"/24cm, around HD 4870/90 length; the HD 5870 is longer, at 10.5"/27cm length - the same length as a 4870 X2.

Lastly we fitted our graphics card - a Zotac 9600 GT AMP! edition which is a single slot card. The Silverstone chassis can accept 10.5 inch cards and we managed to fit a 295 GTX without issue, although it was a close fit.
