Here is my final spec before I order it, I am going to wait to see if any of my choices goes on sale next week, so there may be a different 7850 or something like that, so no big changes.
Please can you just make sure that these are all compatible and tell me whether there are any cheaper or better alternatives for less (I am willing to spend £10 more overall).

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ FARCRY3, Nexuiz, Sleeping Dogs & Dirt Showdown PC Games £179.99
1 x Asus VS228H 22" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor - Black £119.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £81.98
1 x BitFenix Shinobi Midi Tower German Edition Case - Black/Red/Gold £49.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) £43.99
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 500W V2 '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020047-UK) £43.98
1 x Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) £29.99
1 x TP-Link 300Mbps Wireless-N USB Adapter (TL-WN821N) £12.98
Total : £762.89 (includes shipping : £12.50).

 
I'd go for the OEM version of the chip (£20 cheaper as it's currently on offer). Put this towards a decent cooler.

There's also the Seagate 2TB for £71.99 that I'd easily consider over the 500Gb.

Doesn't the OEM have a 1 year warranty compared to a 3 year retail warranty
 
Agreed on above. With a cheap cooler you could also overclock the chip as well for some extra performance. Would really recommend you do so
