ECS is notorious for being inexpensive and very low quality (and hence OEMs like Lenovo using them). Read reviews of it here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135288

I would not put new components in that motherboard and instead would buy an aftermarket H61 mATX board like this:

This is a US website, not a UK one, so hopefully you can find one there. Your other part selections look fine.

Should be fine! The mobo has a PCI-E 2 slot and the GPU is backward compatible

You *should* be okay, but I would not make any guarantees, especially when changing hardware that the original OEM board was not speced to use. I'm only going on years of hearing about bad experiences with ECS boards (cheap capacitors, etc.). Maybe they've improved their quality over the years, but I notice they are still not a main stream enthusiast motherboard maker (like ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock, etc.).

Good luck!
