A few things

The MoBo does not suport SLI/CROSSFIRE So get one that does or look into a 550W PSU

PSU Over kill for a single card setup

The ram is over kill you only need 4 gigs for gaming Also that set is wrong for your mobo yes you can use it, put in wont be in Dule mode

Look for a nice 4 or 8gb set of ram

Hi, i have amended the build, i have:

Downgraded the PSU
Downgraded the RAM
I will not be crossfiring so the Mobo will be ok i think.

Will the RAM work ok ?

Thanks a lot for your help dude !

Ive added in the Mobo and changed over the GPU and found a good monitor on Amazon.

What sort of performance should i see from this build, in terms of BF3/WoW ?

be careful with PSU, its not about what wattage is labelled, its about how efficient and clean the power provided is. Xigmatek 700w PSU is a very nice PSU. Also i am not sure why you would want to change to gtx560, the HD7850 2GB is a very nice card. If you did go for the Xigmatek 700w PSU you could look around for one of the remaining gtx480 cards on the market for about £200, a real beast :)

It seems i miss read something

The 7850 would be a better GPU ( I stand Corected )

@ 1920X1080 you should be able to play BF3 nice and smooth

Thanks guys.

I think im pretty much set to start ordering.

One last question, can you recommend software that can track cpu/gpu temp etc or will this be built into the Mobo ?

XFX make rock solid PSU's. Absolutely no issue here with the PSU whatsoever. Not to mention its Bronze rated anyway and 550w is more than enough for the proposed build.
