This is my first attempt at building my own gaming rig.
Any thoughts or advice on anything i have chosen, before i order the parts?
The only thing i have to find now is an optical drive.

Case= Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case £135 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-102-AN

Motherboard= Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5. ATX. iX58. LGA1366. £200 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-155-GI

CPU processor= Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz LGA1366 Quad-core. £205 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-283-IN

Memory RAM= Geil Black Dragon 6GB (3x2GB) £135 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-090-GL

Graphics= Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X. £330 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-218-SP

Sound card= Realtek ALC889A. £0 - Comes installed with Motherboard.

HDD= Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II £70 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-082-SA

Optical drive= £0

PSU= Corsair HX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant £118 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-018-CS&tool=3

Operating system= Windows 7. £0 - Already have disk.

Total: £1193
 
Personally I try to avoid buying things off ebay. The watercooling built into that case won't be very good anyway and you'll need a PSU. Also you should try to get all the stuff from one retailer, it will cost you less in shipping.
