Hi, thanks for taking time to read my thread.

I am looking to build a gaming PC for about £450 but i can go to £500.
So far i have put together a build, but i am unsure if it is any good?

I want the computer for gaming and i'm looking to play games like Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, skyrim ect. On high at least

GAMING MOUSE-KEYBOARD-PAD BUNDLE - £35

OS: Windows 7 OEM version(can only use one comp) - £70

Total atm: £500- £500 max. Prefer £450.

Please help in anyway you can, I want to know if i can play diablo 3 on highest settings with minimum 40fps and games like skyrim on high again at least 30-40fps. I am looking to overclock but im very new to this so might leave it for a while. I dont want to have to spend extra on a cooling unit. Also the power supply is 500W just to be safe. Is this too much?

I already have a moniter but i am unsure of how to check the resolution of it. THANKS IN ADVANCE I WILL RESPOND TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS.

Sorry for the long post.
