That will handle games fine. Mostly not on Ultra, but most people do not play with those high of settings anyway.

I don't see any problem with that setup. Looks good for gaming.

I'm planning on overclocking my CPU and GPU, huck it up to my TV via HDMI? I'm sure my graphics card can handle that on ultra high settings?

I would change that "CX" PSU to other brand PSU like Antec, Seasonic, XFX and Corsair (Except CX, CS series)
Other things looks solid to me! :)

Nice one :)  overall build is £600, any suggestions with CPU cooling when over locking rather than the in the box heat sink?
