The motherboard is a bit pants, and you can get this instead for better RAM and motherboard.

1 x AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail £99.98
1 x MSI 870-C45 AMD 770 Chipset (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard £54.98
1 x GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz VALUE PLUS Dual Channel (GVP34GB1600C9DC) £41.99
Total : £208.36 (includes shipping : £9.50).

Confused as to why you bothered?

No CF capability, poor overclocker, cheap components.

OP has already found a much better system, including the Asus M4A79XTD EVO which wipes for floor with the MSI 870.
