i know antec is a bit overrated, but i still find it pretty good.

Newegg doesn't ship to Europe...
 
Yea, and i doubt he will be buying a case anyway. He doesnt want anything fancy, just something to hold his parts together...

even though im trying to force him to get a case :P
 
I agree, go with the quad, the cost up front is less than buying 2 CPU's and he will notice a difference with it.

Overall a nice build, it doesn't have a lot of options for upgrade, but as a stand alone build it will be fine.

Limitations:

Since the mobo only supports a single PCIex16 slot, the option of purchasing a 2nd video card at a lower rate in the future to extend video performance is not an option.

Also, PSU only includes a single PCIe connector.

Max output on the PSU is ~395w on the 12V rail, and and assuming you run it at a max of 90%, you have 355w avalible to work with.

With your current components you are sitting around ~270w
If you add two cooling fans to the tower, you will move that up to ~285w
If you where to add an additional hard drive and a blu-ray drive to the tower, it would go to ~330w(reasonable upgrades in the next 2-3 years)

It is likely that the PSU will be large enough for just about anything you could do with that motherboard, but note that should he want to overclock his CPU and/or Video card, it would limit the number of drives he could support.


Note:
-4 drives as a combination of optical and magnetic storage
-Less than 4 total drives if overclocking
-X2 video cards draw nearly as much as crossfire/SLI combos, would be questionable if there is enough power, likely not a future upgrade option
 
?123.36 inc VAT
?104.99 exc VAT


I assume you mean the above, it's just so you can see how much is going to the HMRC (Government). It is more useful for businesses who would claim the VAT back.

Is it just for PC stuff?
 
Cool, thanks for the help guys, he is going to buy it this weekend!
