if get all that from oc it comes to 1241.82 but ideally looking to get it all for £1,200, could possibly stretch to £1,250. Mainly wanting to make sure all the above is compatible and should run well together.

Drop the i7 for an i5. You'll not notice any difference for gaming. The motherboard is a cheap and nasty choice and micro ATX, go for a Z87 motherboard instead.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £191.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £109.99
Total : £312.78 (includes shipping : £9.00).

Ok thanks, i've replaced the i5 and processor as suggested, any other recommendations?

All looks good apart from that, although the W/C stuff goes over my head a bit.

I like the case and am thinking about one for my next build

ok thanks for the suggestions, considering downgrading the gtx 770 to a gtx 670 which will save me about £100 which could be spent on a decent mouse and keyboard. any ideas if it would still run games like black ops 2, bf3 etc easily?
