Okay what about that one now? I added the the new HDD and PSU and also changed the graphics card, I'm really not sure what's the best graphics card at the moment but was advised the 6950 was pretty good. I also changed the bundle because I didn't see much difference between the two apart from the motherboard? Is it worth going for the more expensive bundle, bearing in mind my friend won't be doing any future overclocking.
 
Also if you wanted SLI/Crossfire as an option? you would be wise to upgrade to this mobo - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3

Its the cheapest Z68 board that does SLI/Crossfire at 8X/8X
