Any input would be helpful thanks.

There is No benefit in getting a That expensive motherboard.

The PSU is overkill, But that only give you headroom for SLI configs and overclocking So it isnt bad.

Other than that it looks good.

@RebornFire don't forget to follow your topics.

As @AlwaysFSX said, you need to follow that link and read that first.

Tell us what you are gonna use it for and such..

Why would you go for 2x256 GB? I suppose not RAID 0, since you don't have an HDD..

 

Do you really need a 860 Watt PSU? Are you planning on doing SLI later on?

A single GTX 980 would knock off £150-£200.

Interesting any difference in memory perforce cause of the speed?

Also Gold vs Platinum efficacy make much of a difference?

Mobo since no wifi what would you recommend as a solution since wired is not easy.

@AlwaysFSX

Any difference in fan performance and CPU cooler?

Also same thing with WIFI i asked st.

Little to no difference, less than 5% RAM performance.  Although the MHz is lower, the timings are lower too.  The difference in speed is so little it is kind of a joke.  You could run 1333 RAM and be quite happy.

 

You won't be running your PSU at 80% load.  You'll be running around 65% or so, less if you go with a GTX 980 instead of the SLI option.

 

The Kraken X61 has a 280mm radiator.  It will dissipate heat better than the H100 and the fans run slower and quieter.  Corsair's counterpart is the H110.

 

Wifi... hmmm... I am sure there are some elegant solutions.  Off the top of my head, it is PCI-E X1 or a USB.  I can take a look around. 

 

You can use something like this to route the PCI-E lane.  http://www.amazon.com/HOTER-PCI-E-Express-Riser-Flexible/dp/B0057M0ABA (find something in black or red, or sleeve it).  Connect an inexpensive wifi adaper http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-wireless-network-card-pcen15 and instead of having it stick out the back, fix it somewhere under the PSU shroud on your case.  That way it is hidden.  I don't know how much room there is on the right side of the case, but it could be fixed there also.

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-wireless-network-card-pceac68 Nice looking but 6x the price.
