Yes, you can overclock the 4790K on that mobo. As far as the PSU, you can use it in the U.K. See below for power specs. I would expect that if you bought it through Amazon UK, you would either get one with the appropriate plug or that it would come with a plug adapter, but you'll have to verify.

RATINGS & EFFICIENCIES

AC Input Current (Arms) : 10A-5A

AC Input Frequency (Hz) : 47/63 Hz

AC Input Voltage (Vac) : 90-264 VAC

Yeah I'd say the PSU will probably be fine,because they're selling it on the UK store as well.
Only reason I'm not buying from the UK store is because of the price difference. It's quite a bit more expensive with the exchange rate etc

Yes you can. http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-PRO750W-Edition-Bronze-Cert... Buy that psu from there. It will work in UK. Just switched to the UK site of amazon. And I think they will sell products in UK that are compatible with the power plugs in UK.

For me it's a lot cheaper on the US site due to the exchange rate tho.
It would save me a lot of money to just get the PSU from US and then use a US to UK adapter.

I can't buy from the UK site tho because I'll save a lot of money from buying it from Amazon US.
Best case scenario for me would be to just buy a US to UK adapter.
