Yeah, I only just read that above 100 posts you get free postage, awesome!

i think I'll be going with what you guys recommended then, the lucky little bugger will be benchmarking better than my machine no doubt lol!
 
The build will do him for quite sometime

The i5K is currently on offer, at this reduced priced in my opinion it makes sense to use the saving to help pay for a heatsink. By doing so you can overclock the CPU and realise it's true potential.

The Asus mobo I used is well spec'd and also on offer. I've used the Z77-D3H personally many a time but it's a bit dear at the moment, is a fine mobo though. The corsair XMS3 RAM is what I would probably buy myself at current prices. The Kingston beast RAM is quite tall, I used it simply to balance the build to your budget.

I look forward to seeing what you decide on
