    Let's try again, I did say the i7 was not recommended for gaming, you want an i5 instead. Cheaper, and faster.
    The RAM you have chosen is not i7 compatible, but it is i5 compatible, so it's right.
    Obviously, those are i7 motherboards so they won't work with an i5 CPU.
    Here's the parts list I would recommend:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/4GB-...)-240-Pin-Non-ECC-Unbuffered-CAS-9-9-9-24-XMP
    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Giga...-E-20(x16)-DDR3-1066-1333-2200-SATAIIRAID-ATX
    The graphics card you chose is fine, but HD5850s are very rare, so you may have to wait quite a while for one to arrive.

    Yeah, I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to keep things clear, that's all... :)

    The motherboard specs area bit misleading, but the P55-UD3 does support 1600mhz memory.
