I realise i dont have a hard drive but i can use an external 1tb one that i have until i get one (probably when the western digital black 1tb go down in price).I have put 800+ psu choices in as i may SLI in the future, i was considering downgrading the GPU to a 560 or 550ti, what do you guys think (i will probably be playing games like Skyrim and Minecraft)

Is there anywhere where you would make changes? (my budget is around 900-1000 £)
 
I would go with the Modular power supply.
I assume you mean the Corsair one (i think the thermaltake is modular), apart from that does everything else look alright (compatibility etc.) its my first build, want to make sure its all okay :)

Thanks for your help
