Hey dude I've recently built my PC tht seems a bit similar to urs in terms of mobo and CPU.

Do u currently have a Blu ray drive?, graphic card wise I would go for this which will handle the games no prob(also on weekly deal aswell). AMD cards seems to work better with AMD CPUs.

but if u wanna go with Nvidia this is great choice:

costs a bit more though. Both by Asus coincidentally

the ddr5 is just for the graphics card , not the memory to be used in the motherboard itself.

DDR5 is only on the graphics card, n/a for mobo's and for £80 I would go with the Radeon 6770 like above ^

i was about to recommend the GTX 460 refurb but it seems to have disappeared from the shelves. shame that because its way better than anything else thats been recommended and would have been perfect for you
