There are a lot of elements I would change here. However, first off, I need you to answer a few questions so that we can help you more effectively: Do you have a budget? In what country will you be buying this? Do you plan to use the machine for anything other than gaming? Do you plan to overclock?

budget=£700
country=UK
other uses=video editing
over clocking is a possibility but not definite

Are you building your Pc from an online retailer, or building it yourself? If you are building it yourself, what is your budget? The parts you listed above aren't the best combination by any means.

Be carefully of the h61 mb. Some will and some won't post with out a bios update for the Ivy bridge CPU. If you have to cut costs get a non k CPU and a h77 mb.

The prices on that site are pretty terrifying. Have you considered ordering the parts seperately and paying an assembler? If that's not an option, would you be willling to consider a different site?

Building a PC yourself is a great way to save money. It also will give you a great experience

If you can assemble it yourself, you can get vastly more bang for your buck. Online assemblers are typically horribly price-inefficient, and often use subpar parts to boot.

Check your friends and see if any one of them would put it together for you. I've built Pc's for friends just for fun. And you will definitely get better parts for the same price.
