Will this fit together and work?

I'm building a computer for about £800 and I'm wondering if this is as good as i could get? I am more than happy to adjust as most of you people will be a lot wiser than me http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/DGilhespy/saved/KQFmP6

Your motherboard and CPU combo does not make sense. You buy a high-end, unlocked, overclockable CPU and then a crappy, older motherboard that will not support overclocking.

This is a better configuration.

Doesn't the Corsair CSM series use poor capacitors? Good build nonetheless.
