Motherboard : Not sure
RAM : 8GB Corsair Vengeance
Graphics : Asus GTX 560TI - £168
Case : HAF 912 - £62
PSU : Antec TruePower New Modular 650W - £60
(Im proberbly going to get a scan bundle (providing i know the motherboard) for the motherboard, cpu and ram) Such as : Intel Core i5 2500K + 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black + Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 - £ 280
OS : Windows 7 - £70
CPU Cooler : Artic freezer 7 - £15

More about : final build
Get yourself a good Z68 board.
Asus P8P67 Pro (ATX)
or
Asus Maximus Gene Z (Micro ATX)
They're about the same price. The Maximus beats the P67 in overclocking, while the P67 is of course bigger, and have more stuff like SATA and USB ports.
The Maximus Gene Z is still the best micro ATX board available. So its your choice.

Also, its great for smaller cases which is best for LAN parties and such. Thanx to the friendly EFI BIOS, overclocking is as easy as pie. I don't have such a board myself, but from what I've read, overclocking via the EFI BIOS is extremely easy.
