I’m back to the UK week after next and will finally buy the new PC that I intended to get last year.
If affordable, I’d like the system pre-built by Overclockers and overclocked @ 4.00 GHz. I don’t know how much they would charge for this? Only I’d like it ready for when I get back with minimal messing!
Going to use it for gaming and Video Editing/Encoding.
Parts I’ve pretty much settled on are:
Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case
Intel Core i7 930
Sony Optiarc AD-7241S 24x DVD±RW SATA Lightscribe Optical Drive (Black) - OEM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM
Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard
I have a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB to use for now. However, I intend to upgrade in the future to a high end card such as an ATI Radeon HD 5970 2048MB and also add 1 or 2 additional HDD’s and possibly a BR Writer. So the PSU I get now would need to comfortably be able to handle that.
My Monitor is a 24” NEC.
So really, I’m looking for advice on the missing parts that offer good value, performance.
I don’t know how powerful the PSU should be, whether to go for Corsair, Seasonic or BeQuiet etc.
Should I make use of one of the Overclockers Bundles?, such as:

Do I go for a Samsung 320/500GB boot drive for speed, or is the difference minimal and I should just get a 1TB? Will probably add SSD in the future.
