Hey, so after finally getting through building my new PC, I can't seem to run any games for longer than 30 minutes as I get a BSOD as in the image

Not sure if this is relevant but the games that have done this is Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Far Cry 2 through Steam within about 30 mins. Guild Wars 2 (not through Steam) hasn't given me the BSOD although that may be because I've been playing it in short bouts.
I haven't overclocked - specs are:
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64
650W Corsair Enthusiast Series 9020
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO,
Pioneer DVR-S19LBK 24x DVD±R, 12x
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Intel Core i5 3570K,1155, Ivy Bridge
2GB Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 3X,
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H, Intel Z77,
Caviar Blue 500gb Hard drive
 
What voltage is the RAM running at?

You might need to manually adjust the speed, timings and Voltage.
 
Temps look ok.

Before doing any voltage changes on the RAM it might be easier to run men test (link below) on a bootable CD and see if this brings up any errors.

If you do get errors you may need to increase the voltage to 1.55v.

There's a bit more info here on that particular error, but like the other guys I'd be testing your RAM. Run at least 8 passes of memtest, and if they come up clean, try removing sticks of RAM until the problem resolves itself, revealing a dodgy stick of RAM. If all that fails to help, then try some of the other steps in the link.
