Finally time to think about replacing my E8400 system.
Used mostly for Lightroom and Photoshop, small bit of video editing and the occasional game.
Lightroom in particular seems to struggle a bit CPU wise on the E8400 system.

Will this all work together and have some overclocking ability:

OCZ Vertex 4 256GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (VTX4-25SAT3-256G) - With FREE BattleField 3 PC (Retail) £179.99
£179.99

Intel Core i5-3450 3.10GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £154.99

Gigabyte Z77-DS3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £75.98

Adata XPG Gaming v1.0 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (AX3U1600GC4G9-2G) £47.99

I already have from old system:

Antec 300 case
LG Blu Ray drive
Arctic Cooler - will this fit i5?
Nvidia GTX260 - adequate for my needs currently.
2x Samsung 1Tb drives - not sure of model.
 
Thanks.
Bit rusty on the new stuff!
There is an 'S' version of this CPU otherwise looks like I have to go to the higher spec 3570K.

Also, what is Lucid Virtu?!
 
Thanks, I'll have a watch and see what it does!
I just picked the board out of the list based on price to benhonest.
