Hey there guys and gals!

I'm building a new machine for gaming (my first build so go easy on me :p  !), and I've managed to buy/get most of the components I need (just need to purchase Motherboard and Case) and just need some opinions if this system build will be stable(compatible) and what do you think about it.

My final build will be:

£0.00 Operating system: Windows 7 64bit(already got it)

As you are primarily using your system for Gaming there is no need for an i7 as games don't use hyper threading. You can save money for peripherals by using an i5 4670k which overclocked or not is a beast.
