Looks OK for £800 - is this coming from a custom builder or are you doing it yourself?

I would advise you get an ATX motherboard and case unless space is a problem. Not a big fan of mATX especially for performance builds such as yours. That board is also quite low-end with it only being H81. I'd look at Z97 for an £800 build.

I would personally get 8GB of RAM and put the money to the graphics card instead. RAM is quite expensive at the moment. I reckon if you got 8GB instead of 16 you may be able to afford a GTX 770 which will be more beneficial for gaming than the RAM.

Apparently the 4690K is on the way - that will be better for overclocking if you are interested in that. You could always look at an i5 4670K if you want to overclock but can't wait for the 4690K.
 
Case no good.
mobo - can get h97/ Z97 if you want. But not essential.

How much is your set-up and which company?
You may want to check dinopc.com as they have one similar for ~£699, but with i5 4590, z87 and Corsair 230T
