New gaming build

[chrish17]

Hey, I'm looking to build a new gaming PC and wanted someone to check over the parts I've picked.
Also i haven't picked a motherboard yet, I'm hoping to overclock so want a mobo that would work best with the parts below.
I already have a mouse, keyboard, speakers and an OS.
I have £1500 in total for the build and the parts below come to £1230.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Too much RAM. 8Gbs is more than enough for a gaming build.

This is just me, but you might want a monitor a bit bigger. 23" or so. (thats just my opinion for builds like these.)

You want the i5 3570K. It might run a bit hotter, but they are the latest and greatest in terms of technology, so why not get it?

You only need a 750W PSU if you will SLI your GPU. Bigger wattages are unnecessary since GPUs are starting to slowly lower their power consumption.

680 is a waste of like 70 pounds. You want a 670 from Asus, MSI or Gigabyte as they have awesome coolers and OC greatly. Not sure about Gainward cards though.

That is a huge case. You might want something a bit smaller? I suggest the NZXT Switch 810, Corsair 600T, CoolerMaster HAF 932 or 922. Im not stopping you from getting the 1200, get it if you want.
