New Basic Build a little future proof

Any comments on this would be appreciated, it's basically for someone to further invest in once they have the money but to keep the computer relatively future proof.

Intel Celeron G1610 2.7GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM
£29.99

"Primo 510i" Intel H61 DDR3 Ready Barebones (Socket 1155)
£69.98

Question: Have an old GTX 8800 will this fit in the mobo/case?

TeamGroup Elite 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
£32.99

Everything else I have spare parts for which will be upgraded in the future. Ideally would like to keep it around this price for the Barebones system, Processor, Memory.

If you want to future-proof it as much as possible avoid the 1155 socket and go Haswell (1150).

I don't mind it being a little behind the times to keep cost down, I feel theres enough scope to upgrade to where it will need to be on the 1155 socket!

Thanks for the advice though!

Might be worth going for Z77 chipset so you have the option of upgrading to a K processor later?
