Yea, i don't see why not....
Al tho i would change the SSD brand....

 

[jamesriley94]

Yes - but you could do better.
Are you buying all the parts new?

 

[CPMFW]

should work fine...
as snw already said change the ssd brand

 

[jamesriley94]

You'd be better of going for an i3 with a 7850 tbh

It would work fine but all the parts are about 2 years old now, I'd go with something like this:

No problem mate, no sure if it's normal that the delivery costs 100 GBP, where I live online shop usually offer free shipping but of course Switzerland is much smaller than the UK

Oh yeah, sorry didn't look carefully enough ;-) It's the first time I configured a rig for a forum member using a screenshot of the aria shopping basket

And this will play most things? I'm such an amateur..

It'll play pretty much everything at max settings yeh.

Your list may struggle a little on the high end games.

Graphics card wise though - I'd probably think about spending a little more on a non-reference design graphics card as the reference cards can get loud.
Something like: http://www.ebuyer.com/390924-sapphi...-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-11200-06-20g
would be better.

If you don't want to spend that much, get http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials...R5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=51846
As it's the exact same product as the XFX one, just a different brand (the entire card, chip, cooler etc on both the XFX and the Arianet ones are exactly the same) so you may as well save money.
I think they even just send you the cheapest card going atm, so they may even send you the XFX one for £13 cheaper
