I'm sorting a mate out with a build that will last him a good few years. He's not a massive gamer so i'm giving him an old HD4890 for the time being but can you fellas give me some advice on the rest of the build. I want to squeeze as much as possible out of the budget as possible. He won't be overclocking straight of the bat, but a few years down the line it would be good to have the extra power

Sound OK? If anyone has any thoughts about the motherboard especially could you please let me know.
