    spec me an i5 build with screen for around 700?

    I'd expect the Intel to out-render the 965 on most benchmarks.

    spec me an i5 build with screen for around 700?

    100% agree (was attempting to keep to within 10% of the OP's budget). GPU could be better too. 4890 would add about £40 or a 5850 about £90. Case would/could be a very tight fit with one of those however.

    what cpu cooler

    The mechanics seemed fairly straight forward to me. What is it about the design / engineering that leads you to that assumption? (Not having a go mate. Interested because I'm probably getting one shortly).

    Who else does this?

    Too many people spoiling for a fight instead of wanting to debate. To the OP, every day would be my answer also.

    They're about £1000. (If you can still get one - as they said in the clip, they're a limited edition).

    Films in 3D.. what are your thoughts!!

    Isn't it largely down to the studios attempting to reduce piracy? For the extra ticket cost of 3D I can go to my local IMAX.

    which PSU ?

    The 850 would be my recommendation too. Rarely a bad thing to have a little room to manoeuvre when it comes to the PSU.
