that looks good to me brother, if you could push the budget for RAM to about 48 quid, id go for Kingston hyperX grey, brilliant memory. Your mobo will support much faster RAM but in real world speed, you wont even notice.

give this a look

I have 16gb of it, i got it when it was cheaper, brilliant for the money. low profile to for those huge coolers

Looks good Will I be able to overclock much with that cooler?

Im not the best person to ask mate, I have heard good things about the Havik, but also heard Ivy bridge can run hot when overclocked, im still rocking my 2500k which is great to be fair. Take a look in the CPU section, theres a thread about overclocking them in there some place.
