You got a motherboard with the p67 chipset, which allows you to overclock. BUT your cpu's mulitplier is locked, which means you cant overclock it.
Here is 2 solutions:
- 1. Get the intel core i5 2500k or the intel core i7 2600k cpu, the k means its unlocked and can be overclocked. (This will work with your current motherboard)
- 2. You can get a motherboard with the h67 chipset instead, that wont allow you to over to overclock (so it fits your current cpu) but the h67 chipset allows you to use the onboard gpu chip on it.

What do you mean it's a build of our own website? For £725 you could definitely be getting a lot more.

And you're still ~ £100 short of your budget.
