Hi Chris, one problem there mate, youve included 6 gig of RAM (triple channel), however that board uses dual channel so youll want a 4 gig set. Re the gfx, a 4890 is similar priced and actually better than a 260.
You might be worthwhile reading this thread to update yourself on latest hardware

decent psu and case however theyre not in stock, so ive changed them for ones which are, also included the 965 rather than 955 as its on TWO and only £1 more, hows this look for you?
