I'm upgrading my old gaming system and I was hoping I could get some help making sure these components are compatible and worth the money.

Is what I'm thinking of getting but I'm not to sure about it. I don't want to spend any more that £650. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. :D
 
everything is compatible.

But,

a 2500K - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-360-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1275

Is a lot cheaper and just as fast for a gaming pc.

The motherboard offers nothing special, so if you only wanted to use a single GPU? then this motherboard is cheaper,

If you wanted a Crossfire/sli option then the PRO board is good,

You have a non-K chip there with a p67 motherboard. If you want to overclock your CPU you need to change it for the i7 2600K. If you do not need overclocking you should change the motherboard for an H67 version.
