Overclocked CPU OVERCLOCKED AMD FX-8150 (3.60GHz @ max 4.5GHz)

For most games, overclocking won't really make a lot of difference, and games wont use anywhere close to 8 cores, you might want to think about an Intel i5 instead and if not overclocking the triple copper heatpipe would be fine for cooling

Memory (RAM) 32GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DUAL-DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P (4 x 8GB KIT)

Complete overkill if this machine is for gaming, 8GB of the 1600MHz RAM would be perfectly fine.

Memory - 1st Hard Disk 1TB VELOCIRAPTOR WD1000DHTZ, SATA 6-Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (10,000rpm)

I think the Velociraptors just aren't worth it anymore, I'd say either go for an SSD and secondary drive if you want hard drive speed or just go for a Caviar Black.

If you let us know your budget I'm sure a few people could suggest some ideas.

budget £1600

 

[Toxophilix]

This would be a nice i5-based gaming spec and it's way under your budget. You could add to this by upping the motherboard to support SLI and adding a second GPU (the single one would be great, though), increasing the size of the SSD or HDD, getting more RAM, going for an i7, a better case ... £1600 buys a lot of PC.

Toxophilis's spec, for your budget you could get 2x gtx 670 but a single gtx 670 should max most games.
