Why a 1050w PSU?
The GTX 680 will take 300w at 100% usage and the i7 3770K 3.5Ghz 160w at 100% load.
Both at 100% for a long period of time won't happen that often
The rest of the system won't take that much more.
The rated 80 plus power supplies these days are more efficient when they reach their max load so a 600w using 500w will save you more than a 1000w using 500w

Those insane high end PSU's are total overkill for anything less and than a Tri-SLI setup with the highest end cards.

OK, so this one's quite nice:

Xigmatek Elysium Black case
1050W power
i7 3770K 3.5Ghz
XSPC Rasa Black RS360 Full Water Cooling System
16Gig RAM 1600
Asus Sabertooth Z77 mobo
GTX 680 2GB water-cooled Nvidia graphics card
240GB SSD
2TB Hard
Asus Xonar D2X sound card
BluRay & DVD R/RW
300 MBPS wireless
All-in-one card reader
5 case fans
Asus 27" HD monitor
Wireless keyboard & mouse
Creative Inspire T6160 5.1 speaker system
Windows 7
Office

£2199

Pricey, but any good?

(Edit: just checked case specs: rather large...may have to pick something a tad smaller!)

IMO you would be better off spending half that and then upgrading in a couple of years. Go for a quality case, quality PSU and a good monitor.

Unless you do a load of video editing or something, I would go for an i5 (clock it to 4.5ghz or so), a 670 GTX (I think OcUK have the "windforce" one on offer atm, overclock it a bit and you will probably beat most 680s), 8Gb of RAM and a cheaper motherboard. I'd also ditch the sound card card unless you actually need it for something specific.

Just wank and you'll be fine, it prevents prostate cancer.

Also if you smoke, remember to laugh after 'cause smoking removes 5 minutes and laughing adds it.

So what happens if you have no sense of humour and chain smoke a cigarette every 4 minutes? Do you get back any of those 5 minutes during your hours of sleep?

I'm guessing wanking helps there too.

By that logic if you constantly wank while looking at tits you'll live forever.

Even if that doesn't work at least you'll go out with a smile on your face.

Until you leave the front door and are arrested on a number of public order or sex offences! :D
