Below is my current shopping cart, putting together a system for gaming only (mostly MMORPGs) - will be looking to add a 2nd 7850 and double the ram when newer games begin to ask more.

Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Cooler Master HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750W V2 Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Samsung 128GB SSD 830 Desktop Series SATA 6Gb/s (OS drive)
G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
LG GH24NS90 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" Widescreen LED Monitor 1920x1200

Considering a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 motherboard I think it will do the job and be somewhat 'future proof' (I wont need thunderbolt connection). Any other advice welcomed, seen the GeIL Black Dragon and Corsair Vengeance recommended a few times might switch those.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum :)

Spec is looking ok, you wont go wrong the Gigabyte motherboard :)

Memory, personally any of those specced will be fine, down to personal preference.
 
Agree with RJC on the board, you can't go wrong with the gigabyte one :).

If you do go with the Vengeance memory, either go with the low profile version of it, or make sure that cooler will fit in with it (I've got the ram in question, but I'm still rocking the intel stock cooler ;)).
 
I'd personally go for abetter GPU but for MMORPGs you should be fine with a 7850. Looking at that gigabyte board myself, excellent uk based customer service
