Hello,

I'm helping my teenage son put together a new PC, which he'll primarily
use for gaming. It's something I've done before, but technology seems to
have moved on so much in the last few years that I've felt pretty daunted.
I'd like to ask for anyone's opinions on how well the components below sit
together, and whether there are features of one that will not be made best
use of by another.

I do realise that he will not be using the SLI feature of the motherboard
atm, but he wanted the option of adding in a second graphics card when
he's saved up again!

Thanks in advance for any help,
Joyce
