Hi, i'm currently in the process of building my first gaming pc with a budget of around £760.

My build - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/mgKdMp
As this is my first build I would be grateful of your opinion and feedback on it before I buy any of the components, as I am unsure of certain aspects on it. Such as the fact that I believe that the Samsung 24x Retail SATA DVD Writer will be compatible with the rest of my build but, I would appreciate some assurance in that aspect.

I also plan on overclocking the i5-4690k and use it on games such as Battlefield, DayZ and Arma.

Thanks,

This build is very solid and the parts have a very good price/value ratio. However, I would change the mobo to a Z97 and get a more reliable PSU. The ones I have selected are very good.

Sorry about that, I accidently posted it before I was done and then my browser crashed on me, I've updated my question now.
But to answer theses questions, I do not currently own any of these components and wish to get some feedback before I do. I plan on getting Windows 8 and overclocking the i5-4690k processor.

The build is solid but I would rather go with an XFX or Seasonic power supply.
