Would I be able to build all these parts into a case and get a system working? (Providing I have an OS disc, I understand I havnt added that)

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148005 - Processor
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152937 - Graphics Card
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140996 - Case
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167128 - Motherboard
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/96712 - CD-RW/DVD Combined.
(I dont know here. Would this be able to read the OS disk to install?)
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124228 - 500GB Hard Drive
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135196 - 800W PSU

I dont know if there are any other basic components I would need to get the system built and running. (Dont mention peripherals.)

Also, if any experienced pc builders could run through the specs and just make sure it all fits together etc would be great.

Yep, it should all be fine together. You have forgotten RAM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149202 Why not spend £6 more and get a DVD-RW drive. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149313 and I probably wouldn't get that graphics card. At that price this is a much better performing card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159710

I probably wouldn't buy that PSU, but it's up to you. There shouldn't be any problem with it, but remember at that price it isn't really going to be a proper 800W.

You'll need to either change your motherboard or case, you've chosen an ATX motherboard, which is a standard motherboard size. Whilst that case only has room for mATX boards, which are small motherboards, they usually have a few less features (ports and connectors etc) but it means your case is smaller, these are often popular choice for the commercial market for that reason. So you'll either have to choose a mATX motherboard (http://www.ebuyer.com/search?sq=matx&store=2&cat=222&subcat=1953&sort=pricelow&limit=10&page=1&subsearch=Go) or get a case that can fit your current choice, take a look at the midi tower cases (http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=1&store=2&cat=23&subcat=418) on ebuyer.

You don't really need that much power for this either, a 400W PSU would save you some cash and save you having to sort through about 6 connectors you don't need.

Alright, so ive changed case to http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160914 and for PSU - I was hoping to get a good wattage seeing as I would be using this for gaming. What is recommended wattage I should get?

Also Nick, Ram I totally forgot about. Thanks. and im looking for a different graphics card (hopefully nvidia)

Cheers for the swift responses

You don't need mega wattage for this build. 500W is plenty. Maybe look at a bit more for your own peace of mine. The main thing about a PSU is getting a good brand. Like one of these. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132563

Just remember, the case may look nice, but could have a cheap, plasticy feel I don't know.

Just to point out you may need to by some fans to fit to the case as i dont think they'll come with any unless specifically stated :)
