And would it all be compatible
 
With this board would the 3570k be easily overclockable to like 4ghz ? with the h60 aswell ? and also i dont have a SSD , i was thinking about getting a small one for few games + windows , any you recommend ?
 
About the overclocking, yes. As for an SSD, I would say one of these:
YOUR BASKET
1 x OCZ Vertex 4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (VTX4-25SAT3-128G) £99.98
1 x Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT128M4SSD2) £89.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD120BW) £86.99
1 x Intel 330 Series 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - Retail £83.99
Total : £370.55 (includes shipping : £8.00).



They do come in smaller capacities as well.
 
It should easily hit 4GHz with a H60, to improve cooling you could an an second fan to the rad.

You may want to look at the OEM 3570k, it is £25 cheaper than the retail version, although it doesn't come with a stock heatsink and only has a 1 year warranty instead of 3.

SSDs make a good upgrade, if you have the extra cash then go for one.
 
Yes all compatible, but I think you should go with the motherboard Doomedspeed listed. Perhaps could tell us how much you are paying for these if they are not from OcUK?
 
If you do go fort an SSD go for at least 120GB, as the 60GB ones are a bit on the small side and tend to fill up after an OS, 1 -2 games, and a few other bits.

E: Everything in Doom's build will work together
 
yep , am going to be going for the 128gb Intel 330 for the SSD , also wanted to add 1 more question , the 670 that doomedspeed recommended would be near the same performance as the EVGA 670GTX FTW ? i see its quite abit cheaper
 
The difference in the 670's is mainly just cooling and noise. Performance difference will be minimal/none.
Also, some people prefer different brands over others due to customer support etc.
