If someone could look over this build for me i would be very greatful.

I want to make sure I haven't mixed the wrong things and that im not gonna get bottlenecks or anything.

This will be used mostly for gaming but for other things as well, no real intensive gaming just a bit of skyrim etc and probably GW2 when released.

Thanks in advance

What is your budget? For skyrim the HD 7850 will give a good performance, for gaming 8gb will be plenty and the samsung 1333mhz will be a cheaper choice. I'd change the standard HDD you selected for a caviar black which is faster.

My budget is around about what i have spent already. I considered just going for 8gb but 16 wasnt much more and i wasnt sure how much difference this would make when the computer is running a few programs at a time, i do like to be able to mutli task. What do you think?

I'd go with an intel build if I were you considering your budget. The i5 will perform better than the FX 8150. I have selected a better GPU and the possibility to crossfire (add a 2nd graphics card) in the future, if needed, to improve performance. You can probably get the GTX 670 which is a stronger GPU but you may need to trade off some of the other components you initially selected to stay within your budget but the HD 7950 will easily play the games you mentioned at high settings.
