Ive just made this $900 build and I need to know if it will be good for Gaming and Overclocking. Thanks for your help.

At 1080p I would suggest something around a 7950 or gtx760.They are good enough to play most games out there at max settings with AA turned off.

Looks good to me,you didn't skimp on anything so its a good all around system.Only things that could use a upgrade is your gpu,but its still a powerful system regardless.I would expect to get at least 4ghz out of that 3570k as long as you don't get a garbage chip.

You probably don't want the 500W builder series supply. Go with an XFX 550W or something with a little more headroom. The required wattage ramps up quickly when overclocking.

WD Caviar Blue is great for budget systems, but will not make for a very good desktop experience. At a minimum get the Caviar Black, or a Seagate Barracuda. If you can increase the budget, work a small SSD in there for the OS.

That system will stomp the one you posted at first,But I still suggest jumping to something like a seasonic powersupply,it may take longer to get the money but its worth knowing your rig is getting safe amounts of power.
