Good System for £350?

Is this a good parts list for £350, Could you suggest any changes.
I am worried about the motherboard? Is it a good quality, have any of you had experience with overclocking the G3258 on this board?

Also is the Graphics Card good or is there a different card I should be looking to get?

The PC will be used for my younger brother as a gaming pc.

Many Thanks

Your PC is good enough to do triple-A titles on low to medium. I don't know if you are going to OC (I don't suggest you do though.) If you do OC I have never OCed myself but the cooler I chose is good enough to do it. I also chose 2x4 for your RAM. I chose 2x4 because it's cheap and should give you better frames. I chose a better quality PSU.

Yeah I have my own personal gaming PC with an liquid cooled i5 4690k and a GTX 960 and 8GB Ram. This is for my brother and I doubt he will be playing the newest triple AAA titles, I just want a system thats capable for him to play most of the current games on the market such as GTA V and Rocket League etc.

This is a entry-level gaming build so a good option would be to get a stronger gpu & cpu cooler in order to directly improve gaming performance.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Sheddemon : "Is this a good system for £350?"

Hello, I am just wondering if there are any changes I should make to this system before I go ahead and purchase the parts.
My main concern really is the motherboard, Is this a good quality board and have any of you had experience with using it to overclock the G3258 and if so what results did you get??
Also is the GTX 750ti a card that is still going to a good card in a few years? or should I get a different card.

that card is bare minimum today.
You should really wait for the RX 47 / RX 460 / GTX 1050

When are they out do you know? My brother is kinda of itching for a new computer at the moment.

TH user Woody1999 was able to get a stable 4.2ghz with the same CPU/MB. You might be able to get similar results but it all depends on silicon lottery. The GTX 750ti is a good GPU but depending on which games you are playing it may not last long before you need to upgrade.
