Provide any additional details you wish below.
I have several other questions regarding the build:
1) Will this motherboard be good enough? I didn't feel there was any need to go any better because I have no intention to overclock.
2) Is the case any good? This is the part that I know the least about, but it that the video card may take up some of the drive bays - would this be a problem?
3) Does the brand of video card matter that much - I know the Sapphire ones are meant to be the best but is it worth the extra £30? Also, I would like to overclock this.
NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section.
