Is this good for gaming
AsRock Extreme4 Gen3 Motherboard
Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz)
Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
EVGA Nvidia GTX550Ti 1GB 192-Bit 3D Ready Graphics Card
Corsair CMPSU-850TXV2UK Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 High Performance 850W Power Supply
Kingston KTC 30GB SSD 30GB SSD V-Series SATA2
Hitachi Hds721010cla332 3.5inch 1tb 32mb Sata 7200rpm Hard Disk Drive
If this isn't good, or want to give me suggestions feel free. I'm English
I might upgrade the graphics card once i get enough money.

That setup is perfect for gaming. Though the GPU could be upgraded to at least a 560Ti so you know all games can run at max settings.
Also what kind of monitor are you going to use?

I would personally buy a different brand of RAM like G.SKILL Sniper or Ripjaws series. Corsair tends to be not so great in the RAM department.
If you're using the SSD just for your OS, you won't need more then 30GB.
And make sure your purchasing that HDD at some place like a local PC shop. Prices are up by 200% right now.
If you buy a Hyper 212+/Evo you could overclock your CPU up to 4.5GHz/4.8GHz.
You should also really upgrade your video card if you plan on gaming for a while. I don't know what your budget is but I got a you can get a really nice system for about $1000 if you buy smart.

So it's a 1000 pound budget with monitor:

Note: Video card comes with Battlefield 3 and Deus ex.
And I added a CPU cooler for decent overclocking (around 4.2 or 4.3 ghz)
