I have been creating a gaming PC for the past couple of days. This is my first PC build and I was wanting to get some advice on it.

I designed this for gaming on a budget around £800. I would like to know if this build is compatible and if it will work as a gaming PC. Also is the PSU enough or should i change to a 750W?

This is what I have put together:

Thanks to everyone that answers.

You could get by with a cheaper H97 chipset motherboard since the processor is locked. I would also go for a higher quality PSU.
