If that is your absolute limit price wise then you have a nice system that will give you a fairly good gaming experiance.
If you are looking to save a few pounds.
Drop the 'k' version to the standard i5 2500 as the 'k' version is only good for overclockers. You could drop the CPU cooler, the standard cooler will be fine if a little louder, but it wont overheat as it is designed to keep the CPU within safe temps. That knocks about £30 off for no loss of performance at all.
The motherboard will cause you no problems, it is basic but for your needs you wont need anything better.
