No glaring issues.

Whats it to be used for?

If just gaming then 8GB of RAM and a i5 3570K will be fine, if you do editing/encoding etc then the i7 and extra RAM will help.
 
Cheers Stulid. Will be used for gaming and 24x7 BOINC work. I know I probably don't need 16gb RAM but as it's relatively cheap I thought why not. Thinking i7 for the BOINC number crunching.
