Good, but take the Coolermaster H412, it's better and quieter than Aseteks.
Consider the AMD 7950 as an alternative to the GTX580 with equivalent performance or the 7870 which has very slightly lower performance for ~£75 less. Giving you more to spend on SSDs or a sound card. Edited by Cyber_Tech - 17/Mar/2012 at 22:26 |

The CM 412 is £12 less, the 7950 is £10 more, the 7870 ~93% of GTX 580 performance in BF3 @ 1920x1200 and ~£75 cheaper.
You could also drop the SSD. Changed it a bit: £1495 inc VAT Dropped SRT drive, changed HDD to 120GB SSD (OS Drive) + 1TB F3 HDD, 7870 and CM 412 cooler. Edited by Cyber_Tech - 18/Mar/2012 at 00:07 |

OK thanks for that, however in that benchmark it shows that the GTX 580 is better than the 7870 and also will the CM 412S be able to handle the overclock as it isn't liquid cooling?

Yes, but the GTX580 offers just a little extra ~7% performance for about an extra £80, hence the 7870 is better value. Yes the 412 is a better cooler than the Asetek water cooler.
