Ebuyer is the cheapest that i know of. Modular PSUs allow you to remove cables you don't need, for a rig like that i'ld highly recommend one.

Do yourself a favor and buy your case ata local store. I hear returning a case back to online store can be quite frustrating.

Yea i suppose since it's a big delivery package, and you would most likely have to pay return postage sounds quite annoying. Still need help with the mobo, stick with that one or asus (around same specs) and need a modular psu, don't know which one

TBH you shouldn't have to return any part also the PC shops i've seen in the UK really shouldn't be approached for performance gear Good modular PSU and cheap: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159059

What's your budget?

Mobo - Foxconn Flaming Blade & GTI are getting descent reviews. Gigabyte will also work for you.

PSU - Corsair Modular

They're good but they certainly ain't cheap, Coolermaster, Hiper and Chieftec all do modular PSUs of reasonable quality for less.

Scan.co.uk is what I use. If you sign up at hexus.net and make 20 posts, you get free postage with them. Find out about it on their forums.

Also www.dabs.co.uk www.overclockers.co.uk www.microdirect.co.uk www.ebuyer.co.uk

What are you going to be using the PC for? Unless you are going to be running CPU intensive tasks, I would recommend downgrading the i7 to a phenom 940 and an am3 motherboard, saving yourself around I think £150. As the i7 performs similar to the 940 in games, jsut better in apps, but it doesnt justify it's price. The phenom 940 or 945 are the best price/performance quad core at the moment in my opinion. It's up to you, if you want to have the latest and the best and have the money to spend on it, get the i7, if you just want a good PC and don't want to spend extra to get a bit more performance get the 940 or 945.

I will be using the PC to do alot of video editing, however i do have the core i7 already along with the ram and HDD's. I think that motherboard is good for my needs (also herd it does sli with bious update - not really too bothered about that anyway) Psu can be a corsair or antec and im sticking with the case antec 900 I need quality and reliability... i am open to suggestions if you want to reccomed other hardware.

As you said before 650W, all motherboards use pretty much the same amount of power. Oh and the voltages of all PSUs should be the same (3.3, 5, 12)
